• Track Listing

These influential pop-punkers did score some chart action in their native UK, but they remain criminally underappreciated in the U.S. Hopefully this will help right that wrong, as here we have every 1982–87 recording by a band whose blend of punk speed and pop hooks should have had them up there with the Buzzcocks and Ramones. Their albums "Sound of Music," "Smart Alex," "Fifth Overture," "Rarities" and "Live and Loud!!" join single sides, 12" mixes and other rarities; record-sleeve pictures, press clippings and detailed notes join "Viva La Revolution," "Bad Boy," "Tokyo," "Falling in Love Again" (12" version), "Chinese Takeaway," "Disco," "How Sad," "Jellybaby," "Crazy," "Na Na Na," "Daggers," their signature spins on "You’ll Never Walk Alone" and "I Wanna Be Sedated," live versions of "Steamroller," "Joker in the Pack," "Too Young," "How Sad," "Hurt," "Tango" and more fan favorites and sought-after cuts by the original "droogs" of British punk rock!
