Editorial Reviews

UK compilation for the southern California ska band. Includes all of the material recorded for Stiff Records, including the album, 'Wild Child' (1985), single B-sides & extended versions. As a bonus, it also includes the previously unreleased track 'My Kind Of Girl', a lovely soulful song that stands comparison to the original material. Highlights include, 'Free Yourself' (Long Version), '(I Spy For The) FBI' & 'What's Gone Wrong'. 2002.

5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated but still first rate!, November 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wild Child (Audio CD)

Wow, a re-release of an old tape that I had lost. It sure brings back a lot of old memories. Great artistry here,folks. The Untouchables had a style all their own, it is hard to find a group that could make a respectable recording and make it sound even better live! "What's Gone Wrong?" has to be the prettiest song that I have ever heard. Unlike some bands that have faded into obscurity, these guys still travel and play. They still sound as good as they did 10 years ago! This CD is worth buying!!!

For anyone who caught "Free Yourself" on MTV or stumbled on to it at a party or on the radio, this is a treat. The Untouchables were a great, underrated ska-esque band that really knew how to groove. The songs are all fairly strong, the record diverse, and the extras worth the money. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond blazing..., December 26, 2004

This review is from: Wild Child (Audio CD)

An epic piece of work by a terribly underrated SoCal band. Many of these songs were featured in the classic 80s Bystrom surf flick "Beyond Blazing Boards". This album is inspirational on many different levels, for sure. From the adrenallin pumping "Wild Child" to the reflective, reggae-esque "What's Gone Wrong", this album is non-stop. Hit after hit after hit...today's artists should take some notes.
