Stan Campbell first came to prominence as the lead vocalist on the classic "Free Nelson Mandela" single by The Special AKA in 1984, one of the all-time great protest songs.
Having left the band, he was signed to a solo deal by WEA, and recorded this one album in 1987, a mix of originals and cover versions, with a large array of musicians (including members of The Selecter, The Ruts as well as the likes of Guy Chambers and Hugh Masekela), before he disappeared from public view.
In this edition, expanded to include the six non-album singles A- and B-sides, Alan Robinson's lengthy annotation tells the story.
