The Barracudas: Robin Wills (vocals, 6- & 12-string guitars); David Buckley (vocals, bass); Nick Turner (vocals, drums); Jeremy Gluck (vocals).
Includes liner notes by Robin Wills and Jeremy Gluck.
180 gram virgin vinyl edition.
Rougher and rawer than this old English power pop quartet's otherwise fun singles and LPs, this 71-minute, 25-track collection of earlier demos, outtakes, and other rarities replaces such works as 1981's Drop Out and 1983's Mean Time as the definitive statement on a truly underrated '60s-infested band. The Barracudas were looking back in the midst of a punk revolution -- covering Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Little Red Book" just like Love or the Standells -- and succeeding just the same, probably because, like the unrelated but not totally dissimilar mod revival bands of the time, they brought a purely modern crunch and crackle to the thick guitars underneath the songs about girls. This is boy/girl punkish pop before it became an '80s/'90s staple! ~ Jack Rabid
