Product Description

From Amazon.com

General Public's debut is arguably the ska supergroup's best work. Fresh out of the English Beat, Dave Wakeling recruited vocal partner Ranking Roger, as well as bassist Horace Panter (the Specials), keyboardist Mickey Billingham (Dexy's Midnight Runners), and veteran sax man Saxa for this set of shiny pop that is virtually all as infectious as the album's Top 40 hit, "Tenderness." Sure, the English Beat's best grooves found their way into the Fine Young Cannibals, but Wakeling and Roger's breathless vocals and undeniable hooks still shine on this undervalued album. --Bill Forman

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst 80s CD you can ever buy., Jan 1 2009

This review is from: All the Rage (Audio CD)

I've seem the "Tenderness" video in the TV few days before I decided to look for a "General Public" CD that has this song. I've never heard of that band before and it seems to be promising with "Cure" like style. So, I bought that CD and it was a big disappointment. The quality of this hand songs not up to bar with any British 80's bands. It is for sure a worst 80s CD you can ever buy.

This CD sure takes me back to my high school days, when videos were creative and music was fun. "Tenderness" - I love that song. "Are You Leading Me On" is another hot one. Lyrically and musically fun.

I bought this, listened to it and now wish to sell it. It's not the quality of the English Beat that's for sure. You might like to have it as a novelty item.
