Editorial Reviews

CD only Mummies release! What the fuck! For the first time ever: 22 tracks of pure fool's gold, like you've never heard them before...now, with bass! Apparently THE MUMMIES did have a bass player, as these master tapes reveal. Tracks culled from their now ridiculously overpriced, collector's item 45s, incl a very special, never before released, hide-the-salami bonus track

4.0 out of 5 stars Death by Unga Bunga, December 24, 2003

I won't bore you with a track by track analysis, so here's my brief review---

This CD is comprised of all the 45s the Mummies have released throughout the years. Most songs are rougher and more lo-fi than on 'Never Been Caught.' The songs are still good though. I liked 'Never Been Caught' better; I felt the tracks flowed more and it was more of a CD you wouldn't want to skip any track with, just listen through the whole way. Anyways, if you already have 'Never Been Caught,' and you like it, buy this CD. If you're just getting into the Mummies, buy 'Never Been Caught.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Garage-Punk band ever!, May 3, 2004

It can definetly be argued that the Mummies were the greatest garage-punk band of all time. Why? Well, they put together the catchiest, most raw, funniest, in your face tunes out there. The Mummies used the worst equiptment that they could find so as to sound as unprofessional as possible and have that lo-fi garage-punk sound that made them such an excellent band. Originally none of the Mummies material was available on CD (all of the 45s and 12 inches that they put out used to have a stamp on the back of them saying how much they hated CDs). Do yourself a favor and get this CD!!! It's full of great songs and is proof that music doesn't have to be overly-polished to be excellent.

The Mummies - what a band. This overview of their finest work is some of the most winning, grimy, infectious rock'n'roll you are ever likely to hear. Just pray that they drive their famous touring ambulance over to your town in the near future.
