It’s time to switch on the lava lamp and crack open the Babycham, because Big Boss Man are back and groovier than ever. The everpresent Hammond organ ensures that ‘Full English Beat Breakfast’ is a seriously greasy affair and the perfect start to any weekend. The boys keep the pace fast and tight, with a bit of psychedelic rock, samba and Northern Soul thrown in for good measure. It certainly puts the ‘swing’ back into the swinging ’60s, with plenty of Georgie Fame-esque grooves. If Charlie Croker from The Italian Job was still alive – gawd bless his soul – he would be dancing to this, and recommendations don’t come any better than that!
