Various Artists, The Best of Music and Rhythm, 1983 on PVC Records

Shortened single-LP version (there’s a 2xLP version as well, PVC 201) of a record released to commemorate and benefit the WOMAD festival (World of Music and Dance). Peter Gabriel founded WOMAD as an organization in 1980 and the 1982 festival was the first.

The festival for which this LP serves as a benefit was held at the Royal Bath and West Showground, near Shepton Mallet in Somerset, from Friday, July 16th, until Sunday, July 18th, 1982. The W.O.M.A.D. festival intended to focus wider public attention upon the traditional and contemporary arts of non-west cultures, as practiced in the U.K. and throughout the world.

Wonderful eclectic compilation including Gabriel, XTC, David Byrne, and the English Beat (credited as “The Beat” on the label, but “The English Beat” on the cover- it is a US pressing), along with Mighty Sparrow, Ekome, Prince Nico Mbarga, and Rico.

My copy via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA.

Fine Young Cannibals, The Raw & The Cooked, 1988 on IRS Records / MCA

This was the second Fine Young Cannibals album following their self-titled debut. Roland Gift on vocals with the rhythm section of Andy Cox and David Steele (formerly of The Beat aka The English Beat).

Many of the songs on the LP had already appeared on film soundtracks including three from the Barry Levinson film Tin Men. Most well known would be “She Drives Me Crazy” which was a number 1 hit in the US.

My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is a Columbia House Record Club pressing from Carrollton GA. (Note the CRC in the bottom right corner of the back sleeve).

The English Beat, What is Beat?, 1983 on I.R.S. Records

This is the North American version of this release (as evidenced by the “English”) which collected a number of singles, remixes, and live tracks as well as a number of tracks from the first three English Beat albums, serving as a kind of “best of” in the US.

There’s a 2xLP version with a different cover, attributed to The Beat, which was available in Europe. Still looking for a copy of that one.

As though IRS Records could get any cooler in the early 80s. Andy Cox, David Steele, Dave Wakeling, Ranking Roger, Dave Blockhead, Saxa, and Wesley Magoogan make up the band across the tracks, and producers include Bob Sargeant, David Peters, Mike Hedges, and The Beat.

My copy—via Slipped Disc at a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a 1983 pressing from RCA’s Indianapolis plant, with

The (English) Beat - I Just Can’t Stop It

Classic debut from the Beat, with strong pop instincts powering ska influenced songs. Later split into General Public and Fine Young Cannibals, both strong groups.
