Dexys Midnight Runners: Too-Rye-Ay (1982)

The first bizarre thing about this record is that is it credited to Kevin Rowland & Dexys Midnight Runners. I file it under D. After all, the band's previous record was credited to Dexys Midnight Runners. I suppose that the branding change may have to do with the fact that almost the entire lineup changed. Anyway, I'm not sure the new name stuck, because everyone I know refers to the band as Dexys Midnight Runners. Yes, that right, Dexys with no apostrophe. Later, the band became know as Dexys, again with no apostrophe. That's also bizarre.

Anyway, this is a really good record. Apart from the huge hit, there's a competent cover of a Van Morrison tune.
