Deep Listening Day #57 — English Beat: Wha'ppen (1981). this is their underrated second album. I think all 3 albums are essential. my sense is that the debut is best remembered, the 3rd was the biggest hit, at least in the U.S, and #Whappen is a bit forgotten.

"Did you know this iconic ska silhouette is a trans woman and ska singer named Brigitte Bond? The English Beat were inspired to draw her from a photo of her dancing with Prince Buster and it ended up being the inspiration for the now iconic “Rude Girl” silhouette. We’ve always been around and we’ve always been creative icons 💜🏳️‍⚧️🤘🏻"
