Bad Manners: Walking In Sunshine: The Best Of Bad Manners auf 2 CDs

With 1980 only a few months old the sight of Bad Manners hilarious front man Buster Bloodvessel on TV screens across the land singing Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu couldn’t help but raise a few smiles. But beneath the humour as epitomised by a slew of singles including Lip Up Fatty, Lorraine and the Can Can (all included here) was a solid, professional working group. Indeed whilst there humour filled hits would ensure that they spent more weeks on the UK chart that debut year than any other act other than Madness, singles like Just A Feeling and Walking In The Sunshine hinted at greater depths and a real understanding of brilliant pop. This collection brings together all their hits and a large number of b-sides and album tracks tracks on CD for the first time.
