Title: Not collected works
Product review: While this album has Talking to a Stranger, that's the only track you will also find on the IRS release Collected Works (1990). The album title is Hunters and Collectors, dated 1981/2. I mention this as a service to anyone wanting a best of, like I was, because this isn't one.Having said that, it's always nice to get in on the ground floor, and this is a fine first effort. Talking to a Stranger, Aligator Engine, Scream Who, and Watcher will please fans of the band's later efforts, echoing the sounds of bands like Blue Peter, XTC and the Boomtown Rats. Junket Head and Tender Kinder Baby swing a little more to the likes of Yaz and Yello. In all, if your tastes run to the 80's new wave then get this cd.
