Just visit www.amazon.co.uk and order it from there for less...you can also pick up The Slits' records cheaper there as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great album, April 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Germfree Adolescents (Audio CD)

The only thing missing from Germfree Adolescents was the classic Oh Bondage Up Yours, and now you can get that too on the same CD!!! A great group, and a belated thanx to the sax player for answering my fan mail back in 1979.

5.0 out of 5 stars The single best British punk album, January 26, 1999

Punk, in its classic Brit manifestation, doesn't get any better than this. Powerhouse guitars and strong hooks galore, of course. But what makes this album a masterpiece is Polly Styrene's lyrics -- there's more telling commentary on the dehumanizing aspects of modern civilization in any randomly selected verse of hers than in the entire oeuvre of Roger Waters (and ten times as much humor). And she sings like a human howitzer. The influential critic Greil Marcus once listed this as the greatest record of all time, period; that's not an unreasonable opinion. So buy it!
