Show Notes
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The Specials sought to combine punk energy with traditional ska rhythms on their eponymous debut produced by Elvis Costello. The boys discuss the political landscape of late 70s UK, classic clapping patterns, and Egyptian scales.
