Album Notes

Deal's Gone Bad has been around nearly 15 years, and have released 3 full length albums prior to "The Ramblers". Yes, the members have changed over the years, including the singer - but nevertheless, fans kept asking how they could get the older material. Finally - we caved to your demands and opened the vault. This hand-made box features new liner notes and all three classic albums: "Large And In Charge" from 1998, "Overboard" from 2000, and "Guide To Boat Drinks & Cruise Cocktails" from 2002. Limited edition 1000 copies.

These albums are also available for digital download through CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon and all the rest. But if you are a collector like me, then you'll want to pick this set up!

If you are new to Deal's Gone Bad, this is the perfect place to get their back catalog all in one fancy swoop.

What do you get when you mix the chugging rhythms of Jamaica, the energy and emotion of American Motown, and the over the-top pub/rock of the Pogues? Now in their 14th year, Deal’s Gone Bad is touring extensively with its strongest and most consistent line-up in its history. With elements of ska, rocksteady, reggae, and American soul, DGB is sure to please on the dance floor as well as on their fourth release to date, “The Ramblers” on Megalith and Jump Up! Records (March, 2007). Although the band draws its influences from classic Jamaican (Desmond Dekker, Jimmy Cliff, Ken Boothe) and American (Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, The Temptations) artists, the sound is a uniquely modern combination, unlike anything else on the scene today. Deal’s Gone Bad will appeal to fans of both soul and Jamaican music, as well as anyone looking for a turn on the floor or a song in their hearts. While “The Ramblers” is a testament to the strength of the songwriting, as well as the close-your-eyes-and-its-Otis voice of Todd Hembrook (his first record with the group), it is in live performance where the boys truly shine. Deal’s Gone Bad shows are a combination of soul rave-up and island dance party, with the force and energy of any punk band worth their salt. Lace up your dancing shoes and slip into your sharpest suit or pencil skirt, Deal’s Gone Bad is coming to your town so get ready!
