Reunited 2 Tone ska giants The Specials next month will release a 26-track live album dubbed More… Or Less: The Specials Live in both 2CD and 2LP formats, collecting “the best of the best tracks” from U.K. and European dates on the band’s 2011 reunion tour, EMI Catalogue announced this morning. The set, due out Aug. 6 in the U.K., features a cross section of cuts off the band’s two iconic albums, plus the classic single “Ghost Town.”
The Specials’ only current live date is the “Best of British” mammoth outdoor concert on Aug. 12 — also featuring Blur and New Order — that will cap off the London Olympics in Hyde Park.
