The English Beat - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: BBC College Concert, Hammersmith Palais, London, Britain, 10-3-1982

I thought I was done with the English Beat and the BBC. But I recently came across this short concert they did for the BBC, so here you go.

This concert took place the same week the band released their third and last studio album, "Special Beat Service," so it has a few songs from that. But the songs are pretty much evenly split between their three albums, making this a good live best of collection.

As usual with the BBC, the sound quality is excellent. The only editing I had to do was remove some BBC DJ talking between songs a couple of times.

This album is 47 minutes long.
