There are very few videos of The Beat by Paul Collins and having the same name as The Beat with Dave Wakeling as lead singer of the 80s group Ska does not help at all. I remember that album there was by 79-80 with very good songs
Probably because the Paul Collins' 'Beat' had records out in the mid-1970s IIRC, so the 'first-out-of-the-gate'. They were a popular club band in Los Angeles area back in those days, great example of the 'power-pop' music style playing nightly back then. They did get some radio airplay but never enough to transition to the 'bigtime.' Its amazing to see all the members still together in the early 1980s on this video.

This Beat is the best!
