I saw the Beat play twice when I was at University of Leicester in the early 1980s, at the Student Union and nearby De Montfort Hall if my memory serves me well. The band appeared in the Student Union Bar afterwards chatting openly to anyone who approached them. They were arguably the best live band I saw in my three years in Leicester (and I saw a lot!). Great talents, great songs and a great band to dance to!

I saw the Beat play twice when I was a student at the University of Leicester in the early 1980s - very good live band - Dave Wakeling, Rankin' Roger and old Saxa who could have been the grandfather of the band. I aways remember Dave Wakeling's distinctive white guitar - played left-handed ! The best of all the Two-Tone Ska revival bands - second only to the Selecter, I think !

The point of the record is that men DO NOT own women. It's maybe not 100% obvious from the lyrics, but Dave Wakeling has long said it was the intention.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
