In February 2019, more than 37 years after the last Specials record "Ghost Town" featuring frontman Terry Hall’s distinctive vocals hit the UK No.1 spot, the band returned with a new album Encore. Critically acclaimed it picked up from where they’d left off with lead single ‘Vote For Me’ summing up the times perfectly. A new version of "The Lunatics", a track that had played a part in the 1981 split, seemed even more relevant. The album would debut at No.1 and they would then embark on a year of touring the UK, Europe, and the USA.

Celebrating its 5th anniversary this edition comes in Gold colored vinyl and is limited to just 2000 copies.
