The Beat: I Just Can’t Stop It (1980)
Classic UK two-tone ska which cracked singles (Mirror in the Bathroom, Hands Off She’s Mine), cool covers (Prince Buster’s Rough Rider, the Pioneers’ Jackpot and improbably the MOR standard Can’t Get Used to Losing You), live favourites (Twist and Crawl) and took a swipe at prime minister Thatcher (Stand Down Margaret). All killer nah filler.
