Collins, Paul Beat - Kids Are The Same.

NEW VINYL LP ON GET HIP 2012.

It's a story as old as time (and rock & roll) itself -- band makes great debut album, then has to come up with a follow-up, and doesn't do quite as good a job. While The Kids Are the Same, the second album from Paul Collins and the Beat (here called the Paul Collins' Beat to avoid confusion with then-popular British ska outfit of the same name), is hardly a disaster, it's a genuine disappointment after the modest classic that was their debut album. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beat_%28American_band%29
