    "Ghost Town" one of the greatest political/protest songs ever, 1981 was a crazy year in the UK.

    Coventry was almost flattened by bombing in WWII due to it being the location of many factories producing armaments.
    The "church" is Coventry cathedral which was gutted by fire during the largest air raid. After the war it was decided to keep the ruins of the medieval structure and build a new modernist cathedral next to it as a symbol of rebirth after the horror of war. The juxtaposition is very beautiful, and reflects something of the character of the people of Coventry, tough and independent.

    That's not just a church. That's Coventry Cathedral.
    It was bombed in the war. It was gutted out, but the outer walls are mostly there. So it's just been preserved like that and is sometimes used as an outside performance space.

    There has always been a rivalry between Coventry and Birmingham. The skilled factory workers in Coventry referred to their counterparts in Birmingham as "metal bashers" and called a hammer a "Birmingham screwdriver".

    I remember 1981 so vividly. I can remember my Dad driving me (as a ten year old) to gymnastics training and warning me to hunker down in the footwell of the car as we drove through Manchester. The youth were out on the streets and things were looking hairy. Every time I hear Ghost Town it comes flooding back. I still love this song though. It is one of the most original songs ever produced -absolute genius.

    The go-gos reunion was because they toured with the specials in the early 80s, Terry Hall & Jane Weidlin had a fling and ended up writing Our Lips are Sealed together, which was a hit for both the go-gos & fun boy three.
    Ghost Town was a state of the nation song which caught the mood of the times perfectly Also, an absolute banger.

    I think this song means more to me now than when I first heard it on the radio as a kid, I'd have been 4 - so probably not consciouly when it 1st got a release, but it's just been played and sadly stayed relevant over the years.
    Think a bunch of us here have been waiting for you to get to this, it's such a special song - really glad you "get it" and understand the social context.
    It's one of those rare songs that would fit in, make sense and sound fresh if it came out today.

    Ghost Town was a number 1 hit because it completely spoke to the experiences young people were living through at this time. It was a song that encapsulated the age we were living in perfectly.

    I saw them at one of the early gigs of their comeback, when they played Plymouth. If memory serves me correctly, it was the original lineup minus Jerry Dammers but they were outstanding. I was too young to have seen them live during their original run (I only started school in 1980) but they sounded just like they had on all the records I’d listened to (both coming from my older siblings bedroom and my own record and cd players). They were still very much speaking out against the racist organisations, with Terry Hall dedicating the song It Doesn’t Make It Alright to Nick Griffin (then leader of the BNP).
    As much as I love Ghost Town, I have to admit that Friday Night, Saturday Morning and Man At C&A are probably amongst my favourites of a band that pretty much only produced great tracks.
    Oh and The Fun Boy Three are definitely worth looking into further.

    Some how the Go-Go's would up the opening act on one of The Specials tours and they clicked...

    When you talk to Roddy he's so down to earth, he's got great work ethic and is a very family oriented man, and still going strong with his own group, but is adamant you don't bring up The Specials, it was just something he did, and its rare that he'll mention his time with them to this day, he makes it plain they didn't get on, but with his ethics he won't tell stories about other Specials members, just because he didnt get on with them, and you must respect a person that won't slag off others they didn't get on with to sell stories, or make themselves sound better, he'd rather just leave it in the past

    Two-tone has two meanings: the one described in the video, but it’s also an artificial fabric that shimmers two tones and was popular with New Mods who wore suits. What’s missing so often from videos about youth trends is that they often start in the queer and / or AfroCaribbean world

    Yes, Coventry had an amazing industrial history. In fact, post WWII the Germans came to Coventry and employed a large number of engineers to go to Germany to help seed German industry. In the 1970s, all industry in the UK and Coventry in particular, was in terminal decline - I remember it well. And I can say that anything outside the M25 was completely ignored. And it is these areas which no form the 'angry' people who are looking for someone or something to blame their difficulties on. Pretty much the same all across the world.

    This was The Music that the overtly non-racists flocked to when it was new. At the time in the uk the far right racists were a deep part of the establishment and society, listening to the specials marked you out, it was a brave move, an act of defiance at the time. These days the far rights racists are back, I've yet to be introduced to today's 'the specials' … I'm sure they already exist or are about to.
