Great album

Not a bad track on the whole album. Now if only that first single had been on it.

With your love of Ska I'm surprised you don't know them better.

Hello,

Great album! What an introduction for a great band.

Ranking Full Stop

Whine and Grine/Stand Down Margaret
Tears of a Clown
Rough Rider

Sorry GK but neither "Ranking Full Stop" or "Tears of a Clown" are on the album.

Hello,

Oops! I only have the US version. I stand by my choices for the US version - what's the difference between the US and UK albums?

The US edition added both sides of the debut single (those two) to the running order making it a 14 track album instead of 12.

Hello,

What strong additions! In the UK, was Tears of a Clown only available as singles until What is Beat? and Ranking Full Stop until The Beat Goes On?

Tears Of A Clown was released as a single on Two Tone. The band were always going to put out an album on their own label Go Feet which is why they gave Two Tone a cover song that they weren’t going to use and they kept their own material to themselves.

Their first 2 albums (and singles) are perfect.

I had to leave out Can’t Get Used To Losing You as I didn’t want 2 covers but W&G is too good to leave out thanks to Roger.

Such a great album. revbob, you'd love it.

I been streaming it this morning and Im familiar with a bunch of these.

What I like most is the heavy sound they have, which isnt typical of their peers at the time, at least for those I know.

It is hard to believe Roger is only 16/ 17 in that first clip!!

[Heston]

It is hard to believe Roger is only 16/ 17 in that first clip!!

Yeah, just a kid. He turned into an all round great geezer by all accounts, so tragic.

I’ve been listening to this it is great, could have been released in ‘79

No it couldn't as it wasn't written then. Good album really strong.
