Were you watching TOTP2 last night by any chance?

Fat chance here in America but seems like I missed a cracker!

AKA formed after The Specials split, mate.

Nope.

First single - 'Gangsters' by The Special A.K.A.
Second single 'A Message To You Rudy' by The Specials Featuring Rico.

Didn't have to google, just looked in my box of 45s!

I think they consolidated as simply 'The Specials' during the 'Free Nelson Mandela' period.
