2.0 out of 5 stars don't know about the album, but the clips are totally messed up, January 3, 2010

This review is from: New Rose Story 1980-2000 (Audio CD)

New Rose was a great label in its day, and this album may well be a great compilation from their library, but it's very tough to tell when the songs listed are attributed to the wrong artists. Some of my favs from the '80's scene in Boston were recorded by New Rose, so it's more than a little frustrating to find that a rare Turbines recording is actually Willie Alexander (great though he is, doing one of his greatest songs); Barrence Whitfield is not the band doing Jungle Fever, and The Lyres are not doing This Party Sucks...

c'est la vie...
