Teenage Kicks

Search: Police and Thieves - Junior Murvin
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 27, 2002
An above average compilation of punk and new wave, with some reggae. In places it seems eclectic and random, but I'm happy with a CD that puts Siouxsie, the Velvets, the Dolls, Richman and Richard Hell together. (Note that "Blank Generation" isn't the original version, it's the album version that's usually on compilations. Also, some versions of the track listing, including the inner back cover of the CD, say that "Safety Pin Stuck in my Heart" is included, but on the disc it's been replaced by the Only Ones' "Another Girl Another Planet".)

Soul Jazz Records (in London) have recently taken up the mantle of issuing (reasonably)good quality collections (mainly drawing upon Studio One material) - and this issue should be ... Read More:
