"Bop (Harvey) was one of the most amazing touring bands of the late 80's and early 90's. The energy they brought to each performance radiated through the crowd, lifting their spirits and getting their feet and bodies moving. Mixing reggae,ska,jazz and rock, they broke down typical musical conventions. This double album catches that spirit musically and emotionally. Recorded at the Ocean Mist in Rhode Island, this double album shows they disbanded before their time...but at least we have this memory to touch on."
Great Live Show

"Bop Harvey was a band that could rock the house with their World Beat infused Ska sound. This album catches the band at Rhode Island's own Ocean Mist. I was lucky enough to see the band there several times and it was some of the best live music experiences of my life. Sound quality is surprising good on this album given the tight confines of this club. This CD highlights how excellent the whole band was with great songs, singing, horns, and guitar. This guys were a complete and big time band. Too bad Bop could last a few more years before ska got big again. A must have for any Bop fan and a excellent addition to any Ska\World Beat fan and anybody this just likes good music with a beat. Buy this CD if you can find it."
