An apart from having a great cover design, the Rascal is highly recomendable if your are in to that whole grimey-UK garage-hip to the hop-kind'a thang. The Boy is awesome *****
I always found his sound to be just too eccentric, too exhausting.. Then again I never really spent any time with the album. And I did warm up to The Streets eventually as well, so I'll give him another shot.. Thanks for the reminder!
I must say, it may be because he was hyped so much that I was a bit underwhelmed when I finally got to listen to the album. I think he's very good, don't misunderstand me, but I don't feel it's the earth-shattering revolution in garage music people claimed it was. Killer album cover indeed.
Ah, The Streets! Now that guy is worth the hype! A Grand Don't Come For Free is by far the best and funniest concept album I ever heard! Great stuff, both musical and lyrical.

Has a Buro Destruct vibe to it.. But it's custom designed by Ben Drury of Mo'wax fame.

The first album "Original Pirate Material" is better.
Don't mug yourself!

The type smells like Identikal or The Designer's Republic.
Isn't the design firm credited on the sleeve?

Yes, but it's not a concept album.
