We Have Come for Your Children
: :Much like the Sex Pistols, the Dead Boys enjoyed an outsized reputation among punk rock enthusiasts despite having made very few recordings. Part of that is because, like the Pistols, they featured a charismatic frontman in Stiv Bators, and part of that is because, like the Sex Pistols, what they recorded was so good! This is the second of the two albums they released during their short career, and while it's not quite the blow to the solar plexus that their Young Loud & Snotty debut was (poorly-chosen producer Felix ...

Between Thought and Expression: The Lou Reed Anthology
: :It's hard to fault this three-CD collection, since Reed himself was so heavily involved with the project. Yet it presents the same problem posed by 'authorized' biographies. Coming after the success of New York, this anthology offers the more literary, politically correct side of Uncle Lou, neglecting the 'fuckin' faggot junkie' (his self-characterization, from Street Hassle's 'Gimme Good Times'--not included here) image he cultivated so effectively early in his immediate post-Velvet Underground years. Yes, he's an amazing rock poet, but he was also a rock & roll animal. There are just ...

The Big Stiff Box Set
:Album Description:At 98 tracks across four jam-packed CDs this is the definitive overview of the Stiff label from #1 hits to rare curiosities. As great as Rhino's Stiff box set was a decade or so ago, this box set is closer to the original eclectic nature of the label and features a lot more of the one-offs and under-appreciated acts.
