People dont realise that at this time it was pretty rare to see a mixed race band and the whole 2tone movement was a big step paving the way socially as this was a time of hooligan gangs. I was a Skin but thanks to bands like this I didnt fall for the race hate coming into my culture and became a Rude Boy. Still am and proud of it. Peace

45 years later, one of the highlights of Dave Wakeling's concerts is when he pulls out Too Nice from the vault; so good live

I remember when I bought this track. I was 8 years old, had a £1 gift voucher which I spent on this 7” vinyl in Fairfax House, Bristol, back in 1979/80. Still sounds as brilliant as the first time I heard it all those years ago! That vinyl is currently in someone else’s record collection, patiently waiting to be reunited with me but still being enjoyed!

This is damn fine piece of dub style remixing on this -- one of the top four English Beat songs. Just ordered the Complete Beat box set which includes just about everything they originally released including this version here. Saw the EB in 1981 in SF, and then again opening for the Clash at the SF Civic in 1982 -- both nights.

Shame about Ranking Roger, 56 is far too young. Apparently in the early days he went to a few Beat gigs as a fan and would always get up and start dancing on the stage and in the end they asked him to join the band.
