- This article is about the album. For the radio show, see In the Studio with Redbeard.
In the Studio is the third album from the ska band The Specials, released in 1984 - long after the break-up of the original Specials - and only just managed to get into the UK Top 35.
The album was released under the name 'The Special AKA' and, despite over 2 years in the making (hence the title), was not as commercially successful as their previous two albums although "(Free) Nelson Mandela" and "Racist Friend" became popular singles.
