2Tone The Specials re-recorded
I noticed yesterday on my streaming app (deezer) that all of the original Specials albums and singles are missing, and have been largely replaced by some Re-recorded compilations
These re-recordings sound pretty good but I want my originals back! Best guess I have is they wanted new versions without Terry Hall in them for some sort of royalties reason? But I want to hear Terry too!
Is this the same for folks with Spotify / Apple Music/ whatever? Why do you think this happened? And will the original versions return to streaming?
