Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Despite only reaching the UK Top 40 on two measly occasions, obdurate Belfast punks Stiff Little Fingers retain a sizeable following two decades after they first appeared on the John Peel Show and continue to prove a viable live proposition. This is due in no small part to the reputation of those classic early singles "Suspect Device" and "Alternative Ulster", each an incendiary blast of political anger and teenage disaffection meriting a place in any serious punk collection. Naturally, those tracks, together with the angst-tainted autobiography of "Wasted Life" and "Gotta Getaway" form the highlights of this three-CD anthology, which rounds up all the band's singles and B-sides.
The tracks include include 1991's banned 45 "Beirut Moon", a flimsy Iron Maiden soundalike which dealt with the kidnapping of journalist John McCarthy in the Lebanon. Like compatriots the Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers floundered once they moved away from their original formula, experimental forays into pop and reggae in the 1980s proving largely uninspiring., At least the third disc, a passionate singalong live set featuring the band's most cherishable moments of energetic spleen (previously available as the album See You Up There) goes some way to explaining their enduring appeal. --Kevin Maidment
CD Description
The Northern Irish punk rock band Stiff Little Fingers gained their initial inspiration from the egalitarian approach of bands like the Clash. Their songs reflected the everyday experiences of youth in and around the troubled province of Ulster, which was the scene of almost daily civil strife and sectarian violence. During their brief heyday in the late 1970s and early '80s, the band were among the cleverest and most ferocious purveyors of melodic, message-oriented punk rock on the U.K. scene, while their stripped-down sound influenced later 1980s and '90s U.S. punk rock bands like NOFX, 7 Seconds, Green Day, and Bad Religion.
Culling a variety oftracks from among the band's first three albums, ANTHOLOGY features the feral attack of songs like "Alternative Ulster"and "Suspect Device", as well as the Clash-influenced "You Can't Say Crap on the Radio" and later, more lyrically and musically sophisticated tracks like "The Price of Admission" and "Beirut Moon". This three-CD set also includes a live set recorded in the late 1980s during one of the band's frequent latter-day reunion shows.
