This is another gem from the golden age of DCC compact discs. Many of the collections they did that were remastered by Steve Hoffman have become classics and this is among them. I only wish they would have included the tracks that were with Rhino's classic "Teen Tragedy" LP from the 80's. That would have made it definitive, but that is just my opinion. I don't know what it is about these songs, but you are both amused and horrified both at the same time when listening to them. Depending on your mood this can either be a real hoot or the ultimate party-killer. Either way, highly recommended.

I love the old teenage death songs and was mostly pleased with this collection, especially since it contained "Patches." My only real gripe: "Tragedy" is the Fleetwoods version, which doesn't come close to the heartbreak of Thomas Wayne's vocals.
