30 Something

30 Something is the second album by Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine, released in 1991 on Rough Trade Records. It was recorded in 20 days on 8-track, costing only ₤4,000. The album is regarded by many to be the peak of the group, in terms of quality of music and popularity. The success of the album coincided with the renewed success of the "Sheriff Fatman" single, and so gained more sales in this way. It reached #8 in the UK charts on its original release, and number 21 when re-issued in early 1992. One of the singles, "Bloodsport For All", an attack on racism and bullying in the army, was released at the start of the Gulf War and consequently banned by the BBC.
