BEST OF THE BEAT (In the USA, another lesser band beat this one to the naming punch, hence the dreadful "English Beat" moniker. This is the perfect compilation from a great English pop/reggae band, and once and for all, the band's name is simply The Beat. ) I had the good fortune to catch two live Beat shows, one at Roseland NYC, the other in a club across from Fenway in Boston, and if I had to create my own "greatest of" collection, it would sound a lot like this CD. There is not a bad track on it, and the sequencing is superb. If we can't experience a reunion tour, this will most certainly serve as a great substitute.
