Fun Boy Three – The Fun Boy Three (Vinyl)
It came as quite a surprise when in 1982, at the height of the Specials’ popularity, vocalists Terry Hall and Neville Staples and rhythm guitarist Lynval Golding broke away to form their own self-contained group, making an offbeat LP that spawned two UK hit singles and took a large step towards injecting an African-based influence into the new pop music vocabulary.
On The Fun Boy Three, the trio’s imaginative use of various conventional and exotic instruments — though the emphasis is on vocals and percussion — is countered by a pervasively dark, pessimistic feel.

Sanctuary 1:24
Way On Down 2:58
The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum 3:14
Life In General (Lewe In Algemeen) 3:21
Faith, Hope And Charity 2:50

T'Ain't What You Do (It's The Way That You Do It) ! 2:53

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
