40 years of Ghost Town: a Specials celebration

Reggae Got Soul

Available for over a year

Forty years ago, The Specials recorded one of their most significant hits. "Ghost Town" put 2Tone music on the map, and gave a voice to people from Coventry. To remember that moment at Woodbine Studios in Leamington, a plaque has been put up celebrating the band's contribution to music. BBC CWR presenter Dave Marshall Barrett has been talking to John Rivers, the owner of the studio, about what it means to be recognised.
