2 TONEスカ、カリビアン・ニューウェイヴ！ファンカラティーナ好きも必携！
THE SPECIALS、THE SELECTER、MADNESS、BAD MANNERSらと並ぶ2 TONEムーヴメントの象徴的バンドの代表作。「TWIST AND CRAWL」はDEATH IN VEGAS、REEL BIG FISH、SKINDREDにもカヴァーされ、DJ SPOOKYが「PEACE IN ZAIRE」で、DIPLOがBECK「WISH COIN (GO IT ALONE REMIX)」で使ったり、PIZZICATO FIVEでも「LOVERS ROCK」の冒頭や「LONDON-PARIS」中盤でもネタにされていたりとサンプリング例多数。中盤の木琴リフはブラジルのOS PARALAMAS DO SUCESSO「ÓCULOS」へ与えた影響も絶大です。代表曲「MIRROR IN THE BATHROOM」に、「ROUGH RIDER」(PRINCE BUSTER)、「TEARS OF A CLOWN 」(SMOKEY ROBINSON & THE MIRACLES)、「CAN’T GET USED TO LOSING YOU」(ANDY WILLIAMS)などのカヴァーも含む全14曲。US ORIGINAL盤！
