Musical Youth burst into the public consciousness in 1982 with “Pass the Dutchie”. It became a well deserved stepping stone to huge success as the major label pop friendly marketing tool kicked into full effect. The band's first single, featuring former Techniques member Frederick Waite Senior on lead vocals, didn't fit the picture and became an all but forgotten part of their story. That single, “Political” / “Generals” was a fund raising effort for a community music facility and was released on Birmingham's independent 021 label in the early years of Thatcherism and at a time of high unemployment. “Political” was a scathing attack on the inability of the government to provide millions of people with employment. A cry for both work and a better future. Limited edition of 500 copies..
