Ep. 15: The Specials' Secret Dancehall Album - Linval Golding Reveals the Untold Final Chapter

Get up, stand up! On this edition of Rebel Rockers, we are truly blessed to be joined by a founding father of a movement, the legendary Linval Golding from the mighty Specials. We don't just talk history; we uncover the soul behind the sound, from the powerful, unreleased tribute song he wrote for his fallen brothers like Terry Hall and Rico Rodriguez, to the political fire that forged anthems like "Ghost Town" and "Free Nelson Mandela." But the real reason you have to press play is to hear, for the very first time, the untold story of the final Specials album that never was—a hardcore dancehall project with a secret, legendary American guest that was tragically halted. It’s a powerful reasoning on music, revolution, and what it means to truly pass it on. Bless up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
