This review is from: New Waves: 45 Original 45's From Post Punk (Audio CD)

Unlike the STIFF RECORDS BOXSET where the tracks are amusing time pieces but don't really hold up to actual or repeated listenings anymore - this collection - while somewhat low-key named are the true modern day classics that everyone should own. These are punky, power pop, alt or just plain pop but they all sound great ... both musically and more important - fidelity wise. A lot of the "new wave" collections while featuring great tracks don't always offer the best fidelity - these sound sharp and clear like it's the late 1980's and you just turned on the radio (when most people actually listened to radio AND they would actually play new tracks - yea, hard to believe but true :-)
