Disc 1 of this album is my favourite Bad Manners compilation disc, I love the track listing and the recording is of good quality. My favourite tracks include ‘My Girl Lollipop’, ‘Special Brew’, ‘Lip Up Fatty’, ‘Just A Feeling’, ‘Tequila’, ‘Lorraine’ and ‘Suicide’.
This is pretty much always a good choice when the sun’s out, when you need a bit of cheering up, or when you’ve got a few skinheads and punks round for drinks and a good laugh. It’s pretty much guaranteed to get people skanking for at least one of the songs.
