Product Description

CD Description

Brash, high-powered, and endlessly fun, CAN'T STAND THE REZILLOS: THE (ALMOST) COMPLETE REZILLOS is a perfect overview of the short-lived punk act. The title of the collection is a statement of fact: This album includes most of the Rezillos recorded output with the exception of some singles, covers, and live cuts. But the material that is here-- which includes the band's stellar debut and the live MISSION ACCOMPLISHED-- shows off the Rezillos' exuberant charm, bratty, punk-rock edge, and girl-group-inflected sense of pop to superb effect, making this compilation a minor punk classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars I CAN stand the Rezillos......, 3 Sep 2003
By Steve "---steve---" (Littlehampton) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This is a great, fun, punk era album. There is a manic energy here that turns 60s covers into something definitely day-glo late 70's, that's on the edge of taking the p**s, but bears a certain tribute also.
"Flying Saucer Attack" and "Destination Venus" reflect the influence of B movie sci-fi on the band and adds to their comic strip image.
Short term stability seems to be a common factor in bands of this ilk of this time and we were deprived of a further potential classics by the Rezillos splitting up. But maybe albums like this are only this good when you get the right kind of lunatics together at just the right time, with just the right support - it is inevitably a one off.

If you don't have this album, buy it. If you have it only on vinyl or tape, buy it again on CD - there is double the amount of tracks on this version (live versions).
If you have this stashed away somewhere, not played for years - shame on you! Get it out, play it, sing a long with it, enjoy it again. Better still, buy this CD and enjoy it more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique?, 9 Jan 2004
By rjs townsend (watford, hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Back in the seventies my best mate was a punky type of bloke, where I had more of a hippy leaning. This was one of the albums he played that I would probably not have bought or ever heard otherwise. I have just bought this cd, missing from my collection for years. Add it to yours now! Can,t quite put my finger on it, the bass is brilliant, lead guitar nice and choppy, bright and shiney. The drummer does well with what he probably had to work with, and the vocals swinging between Faye and Eugene works very well. I really don,t know another band of this style. This would sell very well now! Someone do something!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hi-voltage stuff, 5 Dec 2002
By Savage Rabbit "pmphinehas" (Fuerteventura, Spain) - See all my reviews
If you never saw the Rezillos live, you can now (partly) redeem yourself with this album. They were the absolute peak of what was great about punk. None of your angst-ridden, political nonesense here - just a superb and exciting, pulsating vision of everything that was good about punk's high-voltage energy and very little that was bad. They deserved to be far more popular than they were and this album is the best way to catch a glimpse of a bygone age. It's utterly mad, the music is crazed and addictive. It's happy music, and that's why the Rezillos were sneered at by many of the punk cogniscenti. They were sooo wrong.
Don't expect to be put right about unemployment, faschism or anything else of whatever was bothering the spotted masses back then. Just clear the room of loose objects and prepare to move bits of your body very quickly. I just can't stop playing it - and to think it's 25 years since I last sweated it out with the Rezillos!
