While they seldom blunder or even do anything questionable, Heartbeat's decision to update Andrew Tosh's Tomato album Original Man is mystifying. Instead of re-releasing the old album in remastered form, they've totally remixed the tracks, putting Tosh's voice into a new musical situation with a dancehall sound that doesn't fit the lyrics. In addition, there are eight new dub tracks for an album that wasn't that scintillating the first time out.
