“Concrete Jungle” and “Little Bitch,” taken at a double-time pace closer to straight rock & roll than ska and spotlighting some hot Stones-style guitar by Roddy Byers, practically set fire to the vinyl.
In the three short minutes of “Nite Klub,” bass guitarist Horace Punter deftly negotiates the shifts from dead-on ska through a dub-reggae bridge to Sly and the Family Stone-type funk, undoubtedly one reason why Costello places him so prominently in the mix throughout the LP.
