Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered single disc compendium of the punk band that lasted the longest since the original English punk era began. The Stranglers beat out the Sex Pistols as England's favorite punks at the time and it will always be to their credit. This unique collection includes tracks from both their United Artists years and first years on CBS Records, making it the most complete assemblage of their hits ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Collection From This Unique Band!, June 14, 2004

The Stranglers are one of those bands that are hard to describe, they have a sound that is distinctly their own. Part of the punk movement of the seventies, they were more advanced musically and lyrically than most of Britain's punk bands. This superb collection contains such gems as "No More Heroes", "Straighten Out", "All Day And All Of The Night" (remember the original by The Kinks? Well The Stranglers do a great job covering this classic), "96 Tears" (another classic originally a hit for the sixty's group "? And The Mysterians", "Golden Brown", "Dutchess", "Always The Sun", "Skin Deep", and "La Folie" plus more. The only song missing is "All Roads Lead To Rome". The remastering is excellent with crisp highs, increased midrange and extended output. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beware - Contains an Alternate Mix of "Always the Sun", April 18, 2010

Not much needs to be said about The Stranglers. They were great in the Hugh Cornwell days. Beware this collection if you're looking for the radio mix of "Always the Sun". The version of it here is the inferior "Sunny Side Up Mix".

5.0 out of 5 stars Good 80s stuff, February 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Peaches: Very Best of (Audio CD)

This is a very good cd. i had never heard of the sranglers before a friend shared a track with me. and what can i say? i'm hooked. being a new fan, this album was obviously the one for me to get because it is a collection of their best songs. I really love the tracks "Golden Brown" and "Peaches" and "Always the Sun" and... well every other song. Maybe you've heard the song "All Day and All of the night" I'm not sure if they are the original recorders of this song, but its cover if not. If you are a fan of 80s music (stuff that you'd see on the wedding singer soundtrack) I definitely suggest this album! Good variety too: melodic, upbeat, fantastical, and fun... BUY IT TODAY!
