Follow up to their self-titled debut LP, issued in 1981. Perhaps more melodic and accessible than its predecessor, the bulk of the album is versions of tunes sourced from reggae imports of the period, featuring radical interpretations of songs by Bim Sherman, Horace Andy and B.B. Seaton.
Ari Up of the Slits takes a front role, singing lead on most tracks and bringing her own personality to the material, even breaking into German for her take on “Problems”. Also features the vocal debut of a young Neneh Cherry on “My Love”. The rhythms are rock solid and everything is expertly dubbed through the mixing desk of Adrian Sherwood.
