99p. thought i was in for some nice reggae grooves. drop it in - grimmace at the cheezy sounds and styles .. check the INNER sleevenotes - as no details on the actual cover. Dave Stewart production. F*ck. conned. should i persevere or is it all as the opening track ?

Listen to it as an eighties curio, bro, for a start. See if it's likeable on its own terms. Then tell us.

Nah just presumed from the production credit, sorry. Still, maybe you should try that approach? Got me into ABBA when I was a pretentious 17yrold

me, I've always liked Jimmy Cliff's "not really reggae but kinda reggae-esque" lite-rock stuff, but I love his voice so much that I'd be happy listening to him sing most anything
