The Specials
In The Studio
@ 1984 UK Pressing
*****
In the Studio is the third studio album by British ska revival band the Specials. It was released under the name the Special AKA in June 1984. The album took over two years to produce before finally seeing release, by which time the original Specials had long since disbanded.
In the Studio was ranked No. 3 among the "Albums of the Year" for 1984 by NME. It charted in the UK Top 35. It was not as commercially successful as their previous two albums, although "(Free) Nelson Mandela" became an international hit single.
