I saw a copy of this today at a Record Fair but didn't buy it (12 Euros) It has the pink sleeve and is almost Identical to the Original Issue. only a real Collector could tell the Difference. I'm sure it's the same team who released The Specials 1st LP on White Vinyl who are behind this reissue. Note The Vinyl is heavier the sleeve is not Glossy and the Black Ink on the label is very Dark.

This crappy reproduction lark is getting silly- the Gangsters stamped sleeve is the worst I think- right con men!

I don't like any of them. The Specials White Vinly was the worst the cover art is Terrible. my Favorite is The Specials E.U. edition it's Offical and perfect in every way.

THE SPECIALS The Specials (2008 issue US manufactured UK issue limited edition 15-track LP pressed on audiophile quality 180gram Vinyl and issued as part of the 'From The Capitol Vaults' series - Originally released in 1979, the Specials' debut album features the classic hits 'A Message To You Rudy', 'Monkey Man' & 'Too Much Too Young', presented in sealed & stickered picture sleeve)

Normally you can tell if its a re-issue or pirate copy as most don't have the flip back sleeve's

Yeah i've got the same copy, with the sticker on as well, front of sleeve isn't laminated like all the rest. Generally its a good way of telling though.
