5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Pumpkins purchase, February 29, 2004
By Adam Rickards (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1979 (Audio CD)
The 1979 EP was originally part of the Aeroplane Flies High box set, but if you're lucky enough to find it sold separately, go ahead and buy it. It has the classic "1979" plus five cuts that didn't make it onto Mellon Collie. "Ugly," an ode to low self-esteem, has kind of a Cars sound to it, and it's one of the Pumpkins' most interesting tracks. "The Boy" and "Believe" are two poppier numbers written by James Iha ("Believe" is my favorite of the two). The last song, "Set the Ray to Jerry," is one of my favorite Pumpkins songs.

This CD is fun to listen to. It showcases the Pumpkins' alternative pop side very well. If you see this in a used CD bin, don't hesitate for a second to buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best singles ever, March 17, 2002
By Jenbug (Southern Cali, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1979 (Audio CD)
I've been a major Pumpkins fan for 8 years now, and I just have to say that this is one of the best collections of "B" sides out there. It really embodies their style, from Gish to MCIS. The 6th track, "Set the Ray to Jerry" is one of my absolute favorite Pumpkins songs, and "Cherry" is another one. If you like the Pumpkins, this is a must for your collection. =)

4.0 out of 5 stars This German CD is a smash hit with me!, July 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 1979 (Audio CD)
This six-song CD is well worth the price when you buy it. I liked the song 1979, of course, and the song The Boy especcially. It showed me that the pumpkins are more than what I thought they were! Great CD!
