Nice pic of Lynton Kwesi Johnson, who I saw a couple of times, but can't remember where or when so probably had a good time.

Finally had a chance to look through, and there's some good stuff there. I remember that rock goes to college gig, but never seen it since. My only problem with the line up is sticking bloody UB40 under reggae. Awful band.

They did a few good early original songs. It's their covers i've got more of an issue with.

I would mention the fact that Reggae and Boy George don't go in the same sentence. But I'm not too sure of my ground there, as I wasn't initially convinced he was a bloke, as I'm sure were others at the time.

The missus and I were just saying exactly the same. Started as a good band. |

agree - was great when released and has stood the test of time - Present Arms was a decent album too - some good dub tracks I recall, but they destroyed credibility a bit after that with poppy covers of classics that were far better in the original versions |
