Ghost Town (No.20)
Back To 1981Choose A Different YearNext Year
"Ghost Town" was written by Jerry Dammers of The Specials in response to Tha*c*er's policies, which he believed would increase the large-scale unemployment already present in UK.
The single went to No.1 on the UK Singles Chart in June 1981, and was the biggest hit song of the band's career in the UK.
The Specials recently announced they would be reforming for a tour in 2009, and we've heard they're playing Liverpool as well.
