JOHN COOPER CLARKE
Snap, Crackle & Bop [updated 5/22/97]
Originally released on vinyl and cassette in 1980 as the follow up album to Disguise in Love. The initial release actually had a fake pocket attached to the cover of the album with a little notebook in it containing the lyrics to all the tracks. This was left off on later releases. It's now available again on CD (on the Rewind label), catalog number: 477380-2
At the time, it was considered to be his classic album and I remember it being played in all the cool places.
