A rare recording of a live performance at a festival in New York during the summer 1981 US tour, recorded in good mono audience quality! This is a rare recording of a live performance at the "Dr. Pepper Music Festival" held at the outdoor venue "Pier 84" along the Hudson River in New York on August 13, 1981, during the heyday of the Two-Tone Ska pioneers The Specials! It has been digitally transferred directly from the master cassette, and the vocals are loud and each part is recorded with very balanced and good sound quality. This recording was uploaded to a torrent site, but the first three songs on the B-side of the master tape had uneven rotation due to tape deterioration, and the version uploaded to the torrent site was in a state that was unbearable to listen to. In this work, the ending of "International Jet Set" and the next song "Man At C&A" are omitted because the damage is so severe that it is completely irreparable, but the two songs "Do Nothing" and "International Jet Set" have been remastered and recorded with pitch adjustment and volume correction every few seconds, including the overall balance. The set list is centered on the songs from the second album "More Specials" released the previous year, and you can enjoy the superb performance of the single B-track "Why?" of the hit number "Ghost Town", "Do Nothing" which was also cut as a single and its B-track Bob Dylan cover "Maggie's Farm"!
