[MrBiasJoe]

From the movie Blood and Concrete with Billy Zane, Jennifer Beals, and Mark Pellegrino

[theasbokid]

Fuzz Townshend on drums?

[hairbear13ee]

I saw this tour 2 times in 3 days and he was GREAT solo, He put on a great show and all the songs on this album are great as well. wish he was still recording. this was back in 88? I just went last year to a beat reunion tour and the guy that they used to replace roger Sucked!

[shadowcrimsonflare]

Ranking Roger was always the better half of English Beat / General Public. Rock on!

[MizzSaffzYano]

oh my days.. never knew about this video hahaha :D

[fawnknudsen]

This is Bart Daniels' song. Joey Turks' worst nightmare. Worst nightmare for anyone.

[AntiMusick]

Roger Charlery is So Excited today because it's his Birthday!

[oldblue1346]

wtf?

[SoulstylistJukebox]

I love Roger but this promo video is AWFUL. Not his fault thought as 1988-1990 were a dark time for music and fashion.

[gazwilwah]

I remember buying the LP in about 87 or 88 and thinking it was so much better than most of the music around at the time, but i don't think it sold that well.

This is the first time i've seen the video.

[Tampalocators]

Roger was rockin' the old-skool Cosworth Sierra on the track...aces! Seeing this video made me go and unearth this CD. I remember listening to this thing on an endless loop in my car back in 1988 (driving much faster than I care to admit to my kids) along with General Public, Peter Murphy, Morrissey and D.M. God, those were some great times!

[jokerprod]

I just got Radical Departure in the mail today via Amazon. I forgot how good this solo release was. I didn't release it when it came out in 1988. The three General Public albums were awesome as well. I think I was anti English Beat associated artists then. I believe I was into hip hop at that time. Blah.

Thanks again for posting this!

[wissn2112]

cool. I've had the album for years. I just received his 2001 album .inside my head.. I like it.

[covil64]

OMG, this was a hit in the UK- loved it -

80's reborn again.Ciao

[covil64]

Love the vid - memories of the 80's - so cool- UK RULES

[rockinkitten]

This is so cute!

[1yellafella]

i had to spend the summer overseas in seoul (olympics in 88) so i had to get it on cassette. w/o any new music or radio, i wore this tape out playing it back to front in my walkman... my soundtrack for an entire summer.

[hallucinosis242]

I have this album on vinyl, Time To Mek A Dime, killer, So Excited, great, Falling Down, awesome.... But, Mono Gone To Stereo is downright smashing!!!! I totally dig this album and vinyl can't be topped...

[funkraider]

Ranking Roger, the English Beat, the Specials...Good times!!! I miss the eighties :(

[jimbailey69]

Radical Departure is an incredible album. This song, and "Falling Down", and "Time To Mek A Dime"....great stuff.

[redplague888]

I want that song 'Time to Mek a Dime'. I first heard it from a movie called 'Run'.

[danno321s]

Agreed.

[dott888]

I thought i was the only one in the US that bought this album. Great to see the video.

[verbusen]

There are better songs on the CD, but this is the most pop so I can see why they chose it for a video. I liked this CD, played it out to get over my lack of Beat/GP fix. Thanks for the post!

[drumbago]

this was one of my favorite songs growing up...also Big Audio Dynamite's "Just Play Music."

[TFCHooligan69]

I have this album on vinyl.

[cjrmack]

This song should have been huge. Very 80's.

[kevhar12]

Oh! man I had this album on cassette up until 2000` or so. I bought it for like .99 cents at a bargain bin in a McCrory`s store in Baltimore. It`s really really good. I think it broke or I just lost it.

[htrfubye]

I had the cassette too! The insert was green with his picture on it. Takes me back....

[nflt1960]

Radical Departure is such an awesome album. He's an underrated performer.

[jetershomie]

Am I the only one in here that thinks this RR video is a pathetic piece of work if I due say so.

I still like you RR tho, but damn dude.

[catjoyyoung]

So ADORABLE ! Damn - RR is HOT!!!

[xxzarexx]

i know his daughter

[runner99]

Nothing wrong with this video; it fits right into the era. Beautiful Fender Mustang that guitar player has and I believe the bassist is Horace Panter (Specials, General Public). Thanks for the post JADTUBE!

[maxwakeling]

HAHAHA to bad my dad wrote this song and he ran off with it b4 general public ended

[minodude01]

is your dad really dave? thats sick. I saw the beat play seattle last year

[datgrlstef]

OMG!! I love this song!!!!!!!

[uncleavi2002]

Great Song!

I think Dave Wakeling is in the credits for this song.

This did bring back memories.

[the10thplanet]

I remember Roger @ secondary school, Archbishop Williams Tile cross Birmingham England .Hi Roger From Mark Baker Miami.

[RedSkinhead1969]

Awesome. I have Roger's solo album on vinyl. Never knew any of the songs had videos.

[ChannelSTA]

My God, this take me back to the 11th grade! I know I have this on VHS myself from a show called "Post Modern MTV" I look at this and think of how late 1980's this feels in terms of colors, and style. Time to get out that "Hypercolor" T-shirt! Hehehe...

[JADTUBE]

Great Song. Excellent Artist. Terrible Video. But I will watch it forever. Too Good to be Bad.

[scottf0623]

@ChannelSTA right there with you.  I scheduled my nights around Post Modern MTV lol.
