"Everybody should own a Pastels' album. Stephen Pastel is such a great front man. I remember travelling through to Paisley to see the Pastels. We were all so excited at the prospect. It was a great night. We all bought Pastels badges to wear."  Reply

"This has always been one of my favorite ska albums and its top two songs received significant airplay on MTV (I confess / save it for later). Surprised this album isn't ranked higher"  Reply

"I enjoy 70s rock because there was no limitations. Crazy elaborate album covers, colored vinyl, complicated time signatures, songs an entire album side, etc. Nothing was too crazy, possibly drug induced decision making, but you can’t deny the wealth of classic albums created during this decade.

"While Belladona instantly makes this band much better by being here, it's not just his addition to the group that marks large improvements from the debut.
