Beats International
John McCready, Face, The, 1990
Beats International are a pop group of their time... an indie star turned dance guru, a soap star turned singer, and a motley crew of British rappers, singers, musicians, graffiti artists and dancers passing through. Take the whole package to Japan. and it all gets distinctly surreal.
