Never less than rough, ready and raw the UK Subs proved with the 7 top 40 hits included here that smooth edges weren’t needed in the wake of the Punk explosion. The singles CID, Tomorrows Girls and Stranglehold perfectly captured the mood of the times and remain as impressive as they were upon first release. A retrospective covering the most successful period of the bands career during Punk’s high tide in the late 70s. Includes the hits Tomorrows Girls, Stranglehold, She’s Not There and Warhead. Sleevenotes and compilation by Alan Parker.

Powering thru two discs' worth of songs from both lineups of the Rollins Band, The Only Way to Know for Sure is a tight, focused live record that easily overshadows not only Rollins Band's early live output, but also the last two studio records. The live version of songs from Get Some Go Again and Nice are more powerful and meaty than their somewhat clean studio versions, and the new Rollins Band puts a little more muscle into some old material like "Low So" and "Disconnect." Obviously, one would assume that since these guys spend a whole lotta damn time on the road, that a live record would be great, not to mention a good starting point to get an overview of some of this band's (as well as the original lineup's) best material.
