30 Something was Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine's second album and was released in 1991 on Rough Trade Records. 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.[1]
