Pressed on gold colored vinyl, the 1-LP version of The English Beat’s most fusion-oriented records, Whappen? reflects the bands signature melange of musical styles and influences, shifting from a heavy reggae/ska/punk sound to a more eclectic sound that included African, steel drum, and dub influences for a wholly original sound. Their socially conscious and politically-oriented lyrics remain as relevant today as in the context of the albums original release during the 1981 riots in England.
