In America, we have Paul Collins' beat who were established around the same time as the beat, also as the beat. Sounds confusing. They even toured together. US LPs are marked with The English Beat, I'm sure in part to avoid confusion. I have seen the English Beat many times, and played with Paul Collins' beat. Paul and Dave are both extremely awesome guys, and it is great to see them both still playing and touring regularly.

I know that, but people in America and other countries know them as the English Beat, so i was making it easier for them to find these tunes! deekomodska.

The English Beat were the best "ska" band in the history of rock!
