The Special Beat

The Special Beat, fronted by The Special’s Neville Staple and The Beat’s "Ranking" Roger, are no strangers to Australian shores, having performed at sold out events like the Falls Festival, Southbound & The Great Escape. While music lovers lapped up awesome performances there was never any expectation that the super group could get any bigger – but when Pauline Black, front woman for The Selecter, was named as special guest for the 2009 tour, 2tone music fans were offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a genuinely massive event.

These three icons of 2tone are responsible for some of the greatest ska tunes of all time including Tears Of A Clown, A Message To You Rudy, Too Much Pressure, Too Much Too Young, Ghost Town & Mirror In The Bathroom and Ska’d in Sydney perfectly captures the hits of The Specials, The Beat & The Selecter as well as some of those of their contemporaries in what is a knock out live show. Reign Records are proud to be able to offer Special Beat: Ska’d in Sydney for sale with distribution through MGM.
