1981 Album Remastered on Vinyl LP!
Pressed on Limited Edition Gold Nugget Vinyl!
The 1-LP version of The English Beat's most fusion-oriented record. Wha'ppen reflects the band's signature melange of musical styles and influences, shifting from a heavy reggae/ska/punk sound to a more eclectic sound that included African, steel drum, and dub influences for a wholly original sound. Their socially conscious and politically-oriented lyrics remain as relevant today as in the context of the album's original release during the 1981 riots in England.
A splendid album that might not have the urgency of its predecessor, but was more adventurous and twice as interesting.
