Bring some British ska energy to your record collection with Bad Manners, MCA catalog number MCA-5218. Fronted by the larger-than-life Buster Bloodvessel, Bad Manners emerged from London's ska revival with a playful mix of bouncing rhythms, punchy horns and singalong hooks.

The band's early sound blends ska, pop and rhythm and blues with a mischievous sense of humour. Early favourites such as “Lip Up Fatty” and “Special Brew” offer a taste of their infectious, party-ready style, making this era an appealing starting point for listeners exploring British ska beyond the usual names.
