The Complete Beat

The Complete Beat

Shout! Factory is proud to reissue the entire catalog of the great British ska/new wave band, The English Beat. First up is the band's first-ever box set, the 5-CD The Complete Beat, which contains every commercially released song from their heyday, plus rare 12" and dub versions, non-album singles, live sessions and more. Shout! Also available is the a new single-disc compilation titled Keep The Beat: The Very Best Of The English Beat.

The band formed in Birgmingham, England in 1978, inspired by the reggae, soul, pop, and punk sounds percolating all around them. They briefly hooked up with the legendary ska label 2-Tone, before releasing three landmark albums that saw them move beyond ska and into world beat, classic pop, and beyond. After they broke up, ex-members continued to have hits in General Public and Fine Young Cannibals.
