About the album A Tonic For The Troops

The Boomtown Rats were founded in Dublin in 1975 and by 1978 they had already released their second studio album titled A Tonic For The Troops, an album that brought them considerable success.

The title of the album comes from a lyric of She’s So Modern. Bob Geldof's lyrics address dark issues in a funny and ironic way. This is what characterizes the album.

The producer of the album was Robert Mutt Lange. A Tonic For The Troops sold 300,000 copies in Great Britain and the most successful single from the album was Rat Trap, which reached No.1 in Britain.
