Beat Crazy followed in 1980 Jackson at El Mocambo, Toronto, 21 May 1979. In 1981, Jackson produced an album for the British power pop group the Keys  .

Joe Jackson ‎– Look Sharp! Label: A&M Records ‎– AMLH 64743. Format: Vinyl, LP, Album. As Westcotes54 says, this is a strong post punk/new wave record - Jackson wasn't as talented as Costello, but he was sharper than, say, Graham Parker. If you're a fan of this record, this (original UK) pressing is the one to get - sounds amazing, I was actually really surprised. Really punchy, decent soundstage, and clear definition to Maby's bass.

Joe Jackson ~ Look Sharp. Joe Jackson's debut album "Look Sharp!" was recorded in 1978 & originally released in January of 1979, & what a superb debut it is. Yes, the similarity between Jackson and Elvis Costello (the latter of whom already had two albums out prior to 1979) are inevitable, but Joe simply had Elvis beat in terms of both vocal power and sheer songwriting ability. Clearly this album was a cathartic experience for Joe-track upon track shows him letting off a ton of steam, & when you match this with the consistently deathless hooks, & punchy performances from the original Joe.

heartfelt pop-rock album. He took advantage of the opportunity: His debut Look Sharp! is nothing short of brilliant. If Costello began his career as a New-Wave rocker rooted in punk rock and London pub rock, then Jackson's early music was New Wave rooted in '50s rock'n'roll and Motown/Phil Spector pop. The reason this album remains a classic is because it has great pop melodies, the kind that never really get old. Joe Jackson narrates the great tunes with some excellent, self-deprecating lyrics.
