Man, I have loved the UNDERTONES since, I'm not sure, about 1980 or so. They played once in San Diego, 1981 I think. I had to work late but I sent several relatives and friends and they all said it was like a BEATLES concert (ok, mini) in that the people were all into it and happy and jumpin' around.
There's nobody like this band. Pure power pop. Well written pop songs with strong guitars and that quirky Fergal Sharkey vocal. You gotta get over that or you just can't like this band. Their first two albums, this and Hypnotised, are classic UNDERTONES. And the bonus trax which include non-lp singles (and more?) fit right in with these first two albums. I don't come to this band from the pop part, I come to them from their punk association. Many U.S. punx I've known over the years don't consider them to be punk at all because they're nothin' close to hardcore. And, in fact, they proudly have that pure pop sound. Course, their lyrical content continues to fascinate me given they were a Northern Ireland band and could, obviously, have had very political lyrics. Instead we get some of the greatest teen/love/yearning lyrics with strong guitars in very strongly musically written songs.

The Sanctuary label have ruined a damn fine album with this re-issue.Why on earth place 'Teenage Kicks' and 'Get Over You' (as brilliant as they are) right in the middle of an album they did not originally appear on?Why remove the album version of 'Here Comes The Summer' and replace it with the inferior single version?Why do we need 12 extra bonus tracks anyway?As a result of this mauling the album sounds fragmented and will disappoint those of us who grew up with,and fondly remember the original record.
The track listing on the original album was Family Entertainment/Girls Don't Like It/Male Model/I Gotta Getta/Wrong Way/Jump Boys/Here Comes The Summer/Billy's Third/Jimmy Jimmy/True Confessions/She's A Runaround/I Know A Girl/Listening In/Casbah Rock.This is how The Undertones intended it to be and this is the order in which it should be played.I will not mention the bonus tracks but I'll remember the original record as it was meant to be.
The album kicks off in a somewhat dark style with the incest themed 'Family Entertainment'..('Mummy wouldn't like it,Dad's gone too far').It has irresistable hooks,lovely guitar riffs,Fergal Sharkey's quivering vocals and some catchy keyboard playing.Then follows the explosive 'Girls Don't Like It' and 'Male Model' with it's thick guitar riffs and Sharkey's vocals is up there with any punk song of the same period.This leads on to the georgeous 'I Gotta Getta' possibly the most perfect song on the album.
Every song is a gem here,check out the stop start punky 'Jump Boys' and topics including betrayal ('True Confessions') and suicide ('Jimmy Jimmy').'She's A Runaround' is frantic,bouncy pop and closer 'Casbah Rock' sounds like an out-take with it's muffled production and brevity but it works well nevertheless.
Fergal Sharkey,John and Damien O Neill,Mike Bradley and Billy Docherty created an almost perfect pop album with their 1979 debut album.
This re-issue may please newcomers to The Undertones' music but if you own the original copy on the Sire label and are considering replacing it with this re-issue,think carefully about parting with your hard-earned cash or you may be as disappointed as I was.

i recently (2008) went to see the Undertones live. With no Feargal Sharkey i was prepared to be disappointed. In fact i was blown away by one of the most pumped-up gigs i've ever seen, which prompted me to buy this CD.

this is of course the album which hooked John Peel, and with an endorsement of that calibre there is little more to add. Just be sure to play it loud.
ps. the second album, Hypnotised, is even better.
