      3 out of 5 stars not bad, but.......2002-04-30

      Pretty decent comp, but maybe not as wide ranging as that Nine O'Clock Drop comp Nuphonic put out in the same genre (post-punk dance). What's up with the liner notes though? Reads like they were written by a fourteen year-old for a book report. Dubious.

      5 out of 5 stars angular funk/post punk junk.......2002-02-08

      so can we give out an award for best re-issue of the year AND best comp of the year even though it's barely february? one could spend years looking for these songs on long out of print singles and lp's (i know, i have) but soul jazz comes along and hands 'em to you on a silver platter! if the names mentioned above mean anything to you already (ACR, Pop Group, Gang of Four, etc.) you already know how good this is and would be a fool not to buy this comp RIGHT AWAY before the chance eludes you (hey soul jazz has already deleted some of their titles). what are you waiting for? a written invitation?

      5 out of 5 stars angular funk/post-punk danceateria music.......2002-02-07

      the mighty soul jazz records brings out the big guns for the best re-issue & comp of the year, and it's only january. you could spend years looking for most of these songs on long out of print singles and lp's (i have), but now it's being handed to you on a plate. don't be a fool! buy this while it lasts! if you've gotten this far, and read the teaser about bands like Gang of Four, A Certain Ratio, etc. you already know what you're in for, you just need to know it's really THAT good. it's so about time this happened.

      3 out of 5 stars Why is Neneh Cherry only on one song?.......2006-07-22

      The Slits toured with her stepfather, jazz great Don Cherry, in the late 1970's. Not sure, but I believe Cherry had moved to Spain by then (where he died in 1995 of liver failure brought on by hepatitis). Neneh was only about 15 at the time and it was this connection that is the reason why she is on any of their recordings.

      4 out of 5 stars about as punk as it gets.......2005-07-15

      If "punk rock" means not giving a toss about technical ability and everything about total attitude and conviction, this is just about as punk as it gets. The price for the import offered here is steep, but for fans it's fair. Beware, the sound mix is a bit muddy, but that's to be expected, and actually gives it more authenticity, a sort of "you were there" atmosphere. Music trivia types will spot future hip-pop one hit wonder Neneh Cherry's name in the credits, and wonder.."why?" but it's just the one song. What remains is a crazy mix of PiL, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and Captain Beefheart. I quite like it.
