I Just Can't Stop It

The album reached 3 in the UK and 142 on the Billboard 200, and Wikipedia gives its length as 36:24 though the listed times sum to about 37:04. Wakeling sang and played rhythm guitar, Ranking Roger toasted, Cox played lead guitar, Steele bass, Morton drums and Saxa saxophone; Hunt Emerson drew the Beat Girl artwork. An AV Club interview with Wakeling credits Sargeant as the band's producer, though it also contains a mention of Mike Hedges that conflicts with other sources, so we credit only Sargeant. Rolling Stone called it wild and threatening, sexy and sharp in 1980, and AllMusic's Jo-Ann Greene a stunning achievement; NME ranked it third among the albums of 1980.
