Ska story: the sound of angry young England:

The main irony of the Specials’ songs, and in fact of the entire ska movement, was that lurking just beneath the “happy,” infectious dance beat were often chilling stories of the racial divisiveness and economic deprivation that characterized the dawning of the Thatcher era.

Reggae: the sound that revolutionised Britain:

The two looks represented the different worlds inhabited by young white and black Britain, worlds which a year previously had been remote from each other but which by the summer of 1977 were unexpectedly and often uncomfortably rubbing shoulders.

The Specials: How Ghost Town Defined an Era:

Released on 20 June 1981 against a backdrop of rising unemployment, its blend of melancholy, unease and menace took on an entirely new meaning when Britain’s streets erupted into rioting almost three weeks later – the day before Ghost Town reached number one in the charts.

Abigail Gardner Ghost Town: A Haunting 1981 Protest Song That Still Makes Sense Today:

Perhaps because “Ghost Town” cannot be “placed”. It’s not explicitly against any one event. It does not exhort its listeners into any one particular political view. It is not part of any one social movement for change. It is, rather, a stealth protest song.

Alexis Petridis (Guardian music journalist)

As Ghost Town reached number one, its lyrics were horribly borne out. “Can’t go on no more,” sang the Specials, “the people getting angry.” As if on cue, the worst mainland rioting of the century broke out in Britain’s cities and towns. For the first and only time, British pop music appeared to be commenting on the news as it happened.

Directed by the graphic designer Barney Bubbles:

Barney Bubbles defined the look of the British psychedelic movement of the ’60s, then seemed to recede from sight. He resurfaced a few years later, helping to establish the aesthetic of British punk, then did the same for post-punk. 

Binary:

Binary means 2 things that are opposite. For example, a male and a female in a film and show how different the characters are and how they play it. This is the form of narrative structure which is the low point of it. You could also suggest who has more power male or female and present how each character is preferred in the matter of binary talking.
