The Beat - Live Deeside Leisure Center (1982)
If you know about McCrank's Juke you know about our ska fix and some of the great old shows we've posted from The Beat or for you yanks - The English Beat. This classic 1982 show is very special. Recorded July 30th 1982 at the Queensferry, Flintshire, in Wales. The Birmingham band, provides a live radio experience, playing all of their hits from the forth coming album "Special Beat Service". The show is amazing and has some great interviews mixed in to frame the band at it's baddest. Dave Wakeling, Rankin Roger, Andy Cox, David Steele, Everett Morton, and Saxa (sax legend) perform at break-speed, flavoring the songs with ska, pop, soul, reggae, and punk rock. This is a quality show to add to your indie and 80's mix. Recently, I have downloaded a few treasures, including some 1983 never released session tracks from The Beat, including "It Makes Me Rock (Kid Jensen Session 1983)" and "Night & Day (Kid Jensen Session 1983)". Among others, these stand out and may find their way up on the blog. Enjoy this taste to bring back the flavors. SPecial thanks to Liam_Ska's Heavy, Heavy Monster Blog!
