Full review
After bursting onto the music scene in 79 with "Gangsters" and following it uo with a series of ska based singles - Too much too young, rat race etc their 2nd album ,masterminded by chief songwriter Jerry Dammers, showed a complete change of pace - preguessing the easy revival by 20 years.
The key single for me is "Do Nothing" a laid back ska number, whilst album tracks show the true diversity of this album from pearl's cafe - a cocktail jazz number to sock it to'em JB a stax soul rip off.
Whilst not as immediate as their 1st album this too has bourne the test of time well.
