The Only Ones were truly a great UK post-punk band, though sadly I can't lavish similar praises on the compiler of 'The Immortal Story'. OK, so retrospective collections may not be easy to compile, and every anthology attracts its share of whingers who bemoan the exclusion of certain tracks, but it's beyond me how brilliant songs like 'Breaking Down', 'City of Fun' and 'Language Problem' didn't make the CD. Personally, I'd recommend people snatch up the self-titled first album and 'Even Serpents Shine'. It may work out more costly than buying this cheaper 'best of..' but you'll be getting a fuller and more pleasurable Only Ones experience...also, you really don't need some of the tracks at towards the end of this offering.
