Comment:

Mostly covers a period between the late seventies and early eighties when punk was getting most of the press but other independent bands with a more pop sound were still trying to make a name for themselves. Owes more than a bit of credit to the D.I.Y. collection from the early nineties. Full version for download under first song.

love it (likely because I am a power pop and new wave fiend). Thanks specially for 1,5,8,10,13,17,20! See my "Skinny Ties" for more!

Yep, like LSB says -- an outstanding collection of late 70's power pop. And, yeah, those Rhino collections were great (though sadly out of print).

Nice one, especially like track 2 but isn't #20 by The Beat?
