The Specials are releasing what they describe as their last ever studio album, featuring performances recorded in 2019 at Coventry Cathedral. The album draws on material from those concerts and is scheduled to be released this month. The BBC’s coverage presents the project as a tribute to Terry Hall, who was a key member of the band. According to the available reports, the release compiles the earlier live recordings rather than new material recorded later. Other coverage on the topic largely reiterates the same information, including that the album is built around the Coventry Cathedral performances from 2019 and that the release is timed for the current month. Taken together, the sources describe a posthumous or concluding release intended to mark the end of the band’s recording output, using archived live footage from a specific venue and date as the basis for the album.
