I JUST CAN’T STOP IT (EXPANDED) includes the original album, a selection of rare mixes and live recordings. The original, which peaked at No.3 on the U.K. album chart, featured hit singles like “Hands Off…She’s Mine”, “Twist & Crawl”, and a fiery cover of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles’ “Tears Of A Clown”. The newly expanded version adds alternative mixes for all three songs and a dub version of “Stand Down Margaret”. The double album also includes live recordings from 1982 for “Mirror In The Bathroom”, “Best Friend”, and more.
Known simply as The Beat in their native England, the band’s lineup comprised Saxa (saxophone), Andy Cox (guitar), David Steele (bass), Everett Moreton (drums), Ranking Roger (vocals), and Dave Wakeling (vocals/guitar). Since its debut on Sire Records in America in May 1980, I Just Can’t Stop It has earned widespread praise for its irresistibly danceable sound.
