Formed in 1981 by ex-Specials members Terry Hall, Lynval Golding, and Neville Staples, Fun Boy Three quickly rose to fame with hits like “The Lunatics (Have Taken Over the Asylum)” and Top 10 collaborations with Bananarama. Their brief but impactful run included seven singles, two albums—The Fun Boy Three and Waiting (produced by David Byrne)—before disbanding in 1983. This deluxe collection features 69 audio tracks (albums, singles, B-sides, remixes, live cuts, unreleased outtakes) and a 27-track DVD with videos, live footage, and Top of the Pops performances, all housed in a book-style package with new liner notes and band insights.
