As an off-shoot of the English Beat, General Public scored some big hits initially, particularly on their eponymous lead single and "Tenderness," an effervescent piece of sunshine that stands as a great single of its time. They never had hits as big as that again, although their debut =All the Rage= was very good,= and they faded by the end of the decade. Their edition of Capitol's catch-all 2002 best-of series =Classic Masters= comes close to tracing that evolution, but it takes a couple of weird turns in its song selection, particularly by including a live version of "Hot Your Cool" and a previously unreleased version of the English Beat's big hit, "Save It for Later." This still is a pretty enjoyable, fairly representative overview, but it could have been better.
