From Amazon.com: General Public's debut is arguably the ska supergroup's best work. Fresh out of the English Beat, Dave Wakeling recruited vocal partner Ranking Roger, as well as bassist Horace Panter (the Specials), keyboardist Mickey Billingham (Dexy's Midnight Runners), and veteran sax man Saxa for this set of shiny pop that is virtually all as infectious as the album's Top 40 hit, "Tenderness." Sure, the English Beat's best grooves found their way into the Fine Young Cannibals, but Wakeling and Roger's breathless vocals and undeniable hooks still shine on this undervalued album. --Bill Forman
Uff da!: I bought this, listened to it and now wish to sell it. It's not the quality of the English Beat that's for sure. You might like to have it as a novelty item.
UNSATISFIED: I WOULDN'T KNOW I NEVER GOT MY CD AND ITS BEEN OVER TWO MONTHS
It's Great!: If you don't have it you oughta get it. Great for that drive home...
Excelent: I Love this msic because it reminds my age between 14 and 17 years old in college
80's Music At It's Best: This CD sure takes me back to my high school days, when videos were creative and music was fun. "Tenderness" - I love that song. "Are You Leading Me On" is another hot one. Lyrically and musically fun.
