I do wish though I had read the comments first.

The first and third albums by The Beat belong to my dearest records. I saw today's version of The Beat play live in Cologne maybe three years back and was a bit shocked by the lack of interest from the public.Joe Scholeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255311933553650118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-9170751082929540392010-02-13T16:54:33.862-05:002010-02-13T16:54:33.862-05:00A bit sad to see.

It is really interesting to watch it again, particularly to see and hear Saxa and Everett's take on the whole nasty mess. What i learned later on was that the two Cannibals were suing one another over song royalties and that was part of the reason they did not want to get involved. With The Specials reunion now in full swing I can't help but lament a wonderful missed opportunity for The Beat.

The Beat episode and The Alarm episodes were the only ones I watched, but I taped the Beat episode so I could watch it over and over again. Then they didn't end up reuniting, and they recorded that heartbreaking message from Saxa and played it outside of Andy Cox's door. I was really bummed by the ending, but i couldn't agree more than it was still really enjoyable.<br /><br />I think I'm gonna pull out the tape next time I'm home...Kames Jellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07172046371603768561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-41230169365685939762010-02-11T08:12:11.013-05:002010-02-11T08:12:11.013-05:00Thanks Sonchey!
