THE BEAT (AKA THE ENGLISH BEAT) - Wha'ppen [Rocktober 2024] - LP - Gold Vinyl [OCT 4]

LP - Limited Rocktober 2024 Edition Gold Vinyl. 

The 1-LP version of The English Beat's most fusion-oriented records. Wha’ppen reflects the band’s signature melange of musical styles and influences, shifting from a heavy reggae/ska/punk sound to a more eclectic sound that included African, steel drum, and dub influences for a wholly original sound. Their socially conscious and politically-oriented lyrics remain as relevant today as in the context of the album’s original release during the 1981 riots in England.
