Album Notes & Community Reviews

John Cooper Clarke's 'Snap, Crackle and Bop' places his rapid-fire punk poetry in a fuller new wave and post-punk musical setting. The album highlights his deadpan delivery, social satire, and role as one of the most visible spoken-word figures to emerge from the British punk era.
