Another great release to add to the SSS collection,there are 3 or 4 versions with different covers. I always have a good time looking at the graphics that these guys came up with, very inspirational in my own projects. The music is beyond comment, pure rock and roll brilliance, so simple, it's hard to describe without mentioning Suicide, but who cares. One of my favorite groups of all time!! (Teddy Heavens)

FIRST GENERATION is a collection of early 4-track demos made while the band was still forming.

If you want to hear bad, muffled, monophonic versions of "Love-Missile F-11" or "Sex-Bomb-Boogie,"

then this CD is for you. But why would you want to? The sound quality is horrible,

and it's difficult to figure out how these ugly little songs ever led to a major recording contract.

Also included are a handful of 8-track demos recorded in the early 90's.

These songs might have been interesting if they weren't so boring.

Unless you're a Die-Hard Sputnik Fan, intent on owning EVERYTHING ever recorded

by Sigue Sigue Sputnik, this is a worthless CD.

By the way, there are about 3 different versions of this CD,

unofficially referred to as "1st Generation" "2nd Generation" and "3rd Generation."

They are all essentally the same album with different cover art; each "Generation"

has 1 or 2 extra tracks than the version that preceded it.

They're all equally boring, though...
