Can`t wait to get my hands on the box set. Thanks for the heads up Sugarman. The Beat were great. Very under rated band. Three very different but classic albums.

Someone's done a great job with these deluxe editions. There's some really rare tracks and footage included.

The Record Store Day 7" was done really well, too and given the catalogue number Feet 19 to follow on from the 'Ackee 123' single from 1983.

Why don't EMI pull their finger out and do something similar with The Specials back catalogue? It's about time there were deluxe editions of the two original albums. What a waste it was when the albums were remastered and no bonus material apart from some cd-rom videos. They didn't even bother including the tracks from the free 'More Specials' single.

So very pleased to see Night and Day from Kid Jensens session getting a proper airing and It Makes Me Rock (is it the Kid Jensen version I wonder?)
From the old tapes I have the only missing tracks seem to be session versions of Ackee 1 2 3, Sugar and Stress and Sorry all from Kid Jensen. Mine are incomplete due to tape transfers over the years . Other than that. Excellent 11/10.

[french toast]

Can't wait for these Would be nice if the General Public stuff got reissued too

[Fester]

Sugarman you could sign up to one of the US-forwarding services and get it sent on from there?

www.myus.com has a good reputation.
