On the Ropes is the debut album by British big beat duo Mint Royale, released in 1999 on the Faith & Hope label.

Contents

In June 2001, a new version of the album was published for the U.S. market, featuring a different cover (with a close-up photo of a pinball machine) and a different track list. The two versions of "Shake Me" present in the original album were removed, and three new songs were added: two exclusive songs, as well as "Show Me", which would later appear in Mint Royale's subsequent album Dancehall Places (2002).
