Title: Down At The Rock-N-Roll Club...
Review: Of all the punk comps floating around out there (there are zillions - buyer beware), this is one of the absolute best, documenting one of the more vital up-from-the-underground DIY scenes with crystalline precision.The better known bits are still great to have here, and some of the more obscure or otherwise uncollected items, like Johnny Thunders' great and ominous "Chinese Rocks," or The Mumps garage/camp single "Crocodile Tears" are priceless.Not a dud in the bunch - about the only conspicuous absences are Talking Heads and Pere Ubu - "Thank You For Sending Me An Angel" or "Final Solution" would've fit in very well here.But this still is a 5-star example of how great New York's underground once was.-David Alston
