Have you seen the new Specials DVD Roddy? Mojo only gives it a 2 star review, not for the performances but for the way it is cobbled together without any input from the band. Worse still apparently is the commentary from Tim Lovejoy.

No i havent seen it and unless i buy one im unlikely to see it. They EMI dont send the band a copy, i e-mailed them a few years back and begged our stuff on C.D. maybe ill try that route again? Its a shame our stuff is so shoddy compared to the Clash, Madness etc.. But maybe thats because we dont come over as a unit anymore or Dammers has wound them up?

It's most likely the record company trying to make a quick buck. It's outrageous that the band don't get consulted and also do not recieve a copy. Also who owns the rights to the footage, if they give their permission I don't think their is a lot you can do about it. It could be done so much better, like you say like the Clash ect....

Yes thats the one i got sent, havent watched it or listened to it. But i think the one with tim lovejoy is the other one with the super 8 live U.S.A 1980. Why am i feeling depressed again?

You would think that by now some director would get it together to do a decent Specials bio pic ala "Westway to the World" or "The Filth and the Fury". Anybody know Don Letts? they should give him a call and make it his next project.
The Tim Lovejoy is the one with the super 8.
