4.0 out of 5 stars Improve on perfection?, March 21, 2006

It would be hard to give "Singles Going Steady" anything less than 5 stars, ever. In any context.

This remaster is, in most cases, excellent. The sound quality is generally better -- but I kept my old, unremastered copy too, if that tells you anything. The new mix is thicker, but I like the rawness of the original mix just as well for high-volume listening.

A few of the bonus tracks sap the energy from the original release. But a few of the bonus tracks nest like litter-mates with this already awesome collection of non-album singles.

Get this album one way or another -- whether this souped-up version or the older, clankier (but just as pleasing) version.

And the "Spiral Scratch" EP too.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Singles Album of All Time Just Got Better, September 22, 2003

By 

Buck Hill (Arlington, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Singles Going Steady (Audio CD)

The Buzzcocks' Singles Going Steady not only boasts superior sound, but now includes two singles from 1979's "A Different Kind of Tension" ("You Say You Don't Love Me" and "Raison D'Etre"), and 1980's "Parts 1,2,3" EP. Superior melodic pop - some of Shelley's and Diggle's finest work. Essential to any undertanding of UK punk and pop music of the late 70's early 80's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to a great band, August 14, 2006

By 

Julie (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Singles Going Steady (Audio CD)

Singles Going Steady is a great compilation of songs that span the most important years of this band's career. There are a ton of solid songs on this CD (24), which, when bought used, makes it a steal. This is a major staple worth jamming into your music library. It's also a great introduction to Buzzcocks music if you've never heard much of their stuff before. You can really hear the influence these guys have had on younger bands that try to copy the punk/post-punk sound. But of course, Buzzcocks do it better every time.
