Notes:  What can you say about a collection that has both the Stranglers doing Bacharach and the Dickies doing the Moody Blues. And there's more. A few clinkers, but overall a great effort on all parts. From the Mona cover to the last bars of "Then He Kissed Me" (I can see this one causing a few ripples in some of the more rural neighborhoods) it's an early peek at the influences of a few punk pioneers. Put this one on at your next party and watch the faces as they say "Who the hell is this?".
