Fun
Boy
Three
was
formed
by
Terry
Hall,
Lynval
Golding
and
Nevile
Staples
after
leaving
The
Specials
in
the
Summer
of
1981.
Taking
on
a
more
pop
sensibility,
the
band
released
their
debut
single,
The
Lunatics
(Have
Taken
Over
The
Asylum),
reaching
number
20
in
the
UK
charts
in
October
1981.
The
endurance
of
the
track
still
resonates
today
and
led
to
the
reformed
Specials,
featuring
Terry
and
Lynval,
to
re-record
the
track
on
their
2019
comeback
album
‘Encore'.
On
their
second
single,
they
were
joined
by
Bananarama
for
a
a
cover
of
the
old
jazz
standard
‘T'Ain't
What
You
Do
(It's
The
Way
That
You
Do
It)'
which
reached
number
4
in
the
UK
charts
(Feb
'82).
A
third
single
from
the
album,
The
Telephone
Always
Rings,
was
also
a
top
20
hit
single,
which
completed
a
trio
of
hits
in
the
band’s
first
year.
This
debut
album,
The
Fun
Boy
Three,
was
released
in
March
1982,
and
was
a
top
10
hit
in
the
UK,
going
on
to
achieve
gold
status.
This
newly
remastered
edition
of
the
album
will
be
released
on
180gm
red
vinyl,

a
spot
gloss
sleeve
