This black T-shirt features the "Ghost Town" graphic from the British ska revival band, The Specials. The design shows two skeleton figures sitting on chairs in front of a keyboard, with the band's name, THE SPECIALS, at the top and the song titles "Ghost Town," "Why?", and "Friday Night Saturday Morning" below.
The Specials were a pioneering 2 Tone ska band formed in Coventry, England, in 1977. They blended Jamaican ska and rocksteady rhythms with punk rock's energy and attitude. Their music often featured social and political commentary, and they were known for popularizing the "rude boy" look with suits and pork pie hats.
The song "Ghost Town" was released in 1981 and became an anthem for the social unrest, urban decay, and high unemployment in Britain at the time, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart. The single's B-sides included "Why?", a plea for racial tolerance written in response to a racist attack on guitarist Lynval Golding.
