5.0 out of 5 stars BEST OF THE BEAT, May 10, 2006
This is the perfect compilation from a great English pop/reggae band, and once and for all, the band's name is simply The Beat. (In the USA, another lesser band beat this one to the naming punch, hence the dreadful "English Beat" moniker.) I had the good fortune to catch two live Beat shows, one at Roseland NYC, the other in a club across from Fenway in Boston, and if I had to create my own "greatest of" collection, it would sound a lot like this CD. There is not a bad track on it, and the sequencing is superb. If we can't experience a reunion tour, this will most certainly serve as a great substitute.
