Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Part of your basic music education.......2002-06-29

X-Ray Spex made music that any serious rock'n'roll fan simply must hear. The songs on the first CD in this collection rank up there with the best "punk" (whatever that means these days) music of all time, and sound as fresh and exciting today as anything ever recorded before or since. If you thought "Never Mind The Bollocks" was good, or if you are one who never really understood why people go on about the Sex Pistols and early punk music, you need the revelation this album will bring.

The first CD contains all the songs on the original "Germ Free Adolescents" album plus some important extras. The second CD is dead weight for the most part. It seems to contain the entire "Live at The Roxy" album in all its mediocrity, and three relatively tame songs from the reunion album.
