"Their fourth and new studio album..."

This is like calling RED ROSE SPEEDWAY a Beatles album.

There are going to be a bunch of pissed off English Beat fans if they are marketing this as a new EB album

At least Roger's version had other original members. At one time. It's just him now. But Dave Wakeling's band that tours the US (I'm seeing them next month opening for the B52s) has never had any original members but him. The closest he came was the bassist from the '90s version of GP, who isn't with him anymore.
