Special Blends Volume 1 & 2 is a 2-CD set, remix album released by Daniel Dumile under the Metal Fingers moniker on his Metal Face Records label. Each track is a remix of famous hip hop songs by other MCs and rappers remixed to instrumentals from Dumile's early Special Herbs albums. Mixed by DOOM himself, this collection incorporates vocals from a wide range of iconic records.

As this album is released as a volume, there may be indication that other Special Blends projects may be released in the future. However, it is unlikely because it is the only album in the Special Blends series to be released since 2004.

The album was reissued on vinyl on June 17 2016 on Metalface Records in standard 2XLP vinyl format, as well as a deluxe version inside a custom-printed burlap bag.
