I'm so chuffed to find this product.
You can get a number of Darts tracks from various online download sites, but I've been looking for one in particular, "Young Blood", for decades.
I bought the first two Darts albums on Vinyl and have been waiting, ever since for them to appear on CD.
This is the next best thing.
I couldn't believe my luck when this one turned out to have "Young Blood" on it.
The Darts played a significant part in my musical upbringing, appearing as they did, a talented bunch of musicians laying down souped up Rock And Roll and Rhythm And Blues in the middle of the "Punk" era..
For me, "Young Blood", with it's unusual chord turns and tight vocal performance stands out.
But there are some other great tracks on here and "Get It" has really grown on me!
I'd hoped for "Late For Work" to appear, but there you go.
For £3.99 and a real blast from the past, I'm not complaining.
Rich.

darts were extra special if not just a lil scary in retro-
however like others there are key missing songs here- and a little more care could have produced the definitive version-
where is sometime lately- which is beautiful, bells in my heart and late last night...
these 3 would have made it a 5star !!- for sure!!

Buy this cd.Good stuff from a good band.Don't know where the earlier reviewer is getting his information from,but Matchbox and Shakin Stevens (especially with the sunsets) were not regarded as joke bands.Anything but.Both were in the vanguard of the British rockabilly movement.Graham Fenton,the lead singer with Matchbox has a history way back to playing with Gene Vincent.Real rockin cats.

What a great album. Takes me back in time. The vocal harmonies are to die for. Haven't stopped playing it since I bought it. Classic!

If you like Darts then you will enjoy this album. One or two weak tracks, but overall it is just what you would expect - classic Darts
