THE ENGLISH BEAT - DISCOGRAPHY (106 VIDEOS)









The Beat (2)

Profile:
2 Tone Ska revival group formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England by guitarist/vocalistDave Wakeling with David Steele (bass) and Andy Cox (guitar) along with rapper/toasterRanking Roger (Roger Charlery), drummer Everett Morton and veteran Jamaican saxophonist Saxa (Lionel Martin). As there was an eponymous US group emerging at the time they were forced to use the names The English Beat on their American releases and The British Beat briefly in Australia.

The band enjoyed immediate chart success and established their own record label Go-Feet Records. After the split in 1983, Steele and Cox went on to form Fine Young Cannibals and later 2 Men A Drum Machine And A Trumpet while Wakeling, Ranking Roger and Saxa formed General Public. Saxa and Everett Morton also formedInternational Beat, with some guest appearances by Ranking Roger who also joined members of The Specials in Special Beat.

Until recently, two different versions of the band toured fairly frequently: "The English Beat starring Dave Wakeling" (a.k.a. The Beat (8), based in California, U.S.A.) and "The Beat with Ranking Roger" (a.k.a. The Beat (6), which also featured Ranking Roger's sonRanking Junior, and was based in the UK.) The latter group ended with the death of Ranking Roger in Spring of 2019.Less

Wish someone would list the box set of the first three albums that came out in the UK. I have tried submissions and I always screw them up. It was released in 2013. I bought it through Amazon UK.
