This has some of the greats; Chelsea head and shoulders above the rest of the punk fayre especially Sham the Man. Cortinas and the Models play the type of speeded up rnb pulsing and racing through yesteryear. Now it sounds like Dr. Feelgood on speed which is exactly what it was. Except whilst there's nothing wrong with Dr. Feelgood, it's not earth shattering.
The highlights are the Fall singles. I have the 7 inches, along with Chelsea,Cortinas and Models. An effort to dig them out and stick them on every two minutes.
The bonkers stuff lies at the end of the disc. This is worth buying just for this if nothing else. Carl and Daniella travel out to lunch and back making sounds Wildman Fisher could only dream of if he had an imagination. It's not the formless noise of much experimneto but it ain't normal rock either. It makes the rest of it staid and formulaic.
Chelsea were by far the best punk group on this CD. Their singles ooze a type of power the rest could only gaze at. Especially Sham, they sound like the school thug getting hold of the mike to do a punk pastiche. Funnily enough it is exactly what they were. This does not even have the power of Kids are United. It sounds tame weedy and fake. There he is from deepest Surrey giving us his thoughts in his best mockney about the problems of violence in Ulster and working in a factory in "No I' don't wanna." Even at the time I steered cleared of buying this dross. Words cannot express the bile I have for this poser. It reminds me of the kids who would pop up at school with their fake London accents claiming they were from Hackney or some other god forsaken place, expecting some form of royal treatment. They were more likely from St. Albans, just like Jim the poser was from Surrey. Even if they were from Hackney or Poplar, so what?
The Fall reveal another side to the punk aesthetic, anti sensibility ditching raw power for jingle jangle to a beat in your own time. Then thye sing about the things that whizz around the head. Those secondary thoughts the trick cyclist would lock you up for, if you ever expressed them in normal time. Repetition repetition, Bingo Master's Break out, It's the New Thing, yes they still hold up, miles above in the air as incendary space cadets; whoosh there they go.
Buy it for the highlights; Chelsea, Fall and Lemon Kittens, the punk completism of Cortinas who influenced Mark Stewart and the Models with Marco Pirroni who went onto greater things with Rema Rema.
Skip the dodgy muckney that makes up the muddle.

This is a good CD but for the fall and lemon kittens. 1 - 13 and 17-18 are top punk rock .The fall are so overated its only band i hate from punk. Godknows what john peel seen in them. (R.I.P. john), they got so many LP's and CD's out no thought in them.

Lemon Kittens Please NO! NO!
3 Oct 2007
Format:Audio CD
In case you haven't heard these Classic songs before,you Need to. I Rate the Bands as"the Models" being the downright best, followed by the Cortinas, Chelsea, and Sham respectively. Great music athems of a great generation. The only thing out of place is the last 7 tracks by someone called lemon kittens. It is the worst racket sound I have heard in a long time, I cannot figure out why those lemon kitten tracks would be on this release. Buy the CD anyway for the first twenty songs.
