Edited one year agoEasily my favorite Joe Jackson album. strong rhythms and melody, great production thoughtful lyrics...none of the childish crap like some cuts on the 1st (though generally great) album, or general weakness of the 2nd album. jumpin' jive is excellent for those who don't know Louis Jordan et al. - very clever and humorous; but if you know the original songs it doesn't hold up well. night & day, well never mind - and then i stopped paying attention.
but beat crazy still gets a spin now & then.

Why was it Joe Jackson Band on this album?
It’s the same band as on the first two albums? -
My favorite of the Joe Jackson material that I own. I dont think it gets enough love. The ska influences on this record endure me to it as I was hooked on Two-tone at the time.
Pretty Boys, Fit and Battleground are my personal favorites.
