Really great second-chapter work from The Buzzcocks – the demo tapes from 1991 that led to the reactivation of their career – a move that sounds surprisingly wonderful from this perspective in time! The space of a decade seemed huge at the time – almost a rock and roll lifetime, which had some of us doubting the reformation of the group – but the quality of this work is great, and really stands strongly with the key early Buzzocks album – and, if anything, maybe returns them to that short, tight, tuneful quality of their early singles. Titles include "Serious Crime", "When Love Turns Around", "Tranquilizer", "Why Compromise", "Who'll Help Me To Forget", "Alive Tonight", "Dreamin", "Successful Street", and "Never Gonna Give It Up".

A singles collection, but one that's so strong, so essential, it may well make the album the greatest full length set the Buzzcocks ever issued! All their classics are here – the short, tight, yet tuneful tracks that made these guys such a standout in the early punk years – and which also gave them the sort of wit that few folks could ever match, even all these many years later. Every track is a gem – and titles include "Orgasm Addict", "What Do I Get", "Ever Fallen In Love", "Promises", "Everybody's Happy Nowadays", "Harmony In My Head", "Noise Annoys", "Just Lust", "Lipstick", and "Something's Gone Wrong Again".
