Product Description
UK reissue of one of 1977's most collectable Punk albums & now released with the addition of 8 bonus tracks made up of the Drones' ultra-rare singles, this 21 track CD shows that there was considerable life outside of Punk's mainstream. One of the scene's most talented & grossly underrated outfits. Bonus tracks - 'Lookalikes', 'Corgi Crap', 'Hard On Me', 'You'll Lose', 'Just Want To Be Myself', 'Bone Idol', 'Can't See' & 'Fooled Today'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten Classic of '77 Punk, February 6, 2000

By	Steve Duff (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I've been waiting ages for this CD, and to my profound joy it's not just their brilliant Further Temptations album, but their entire discography!

The Drones had a hard-charging and somewhat more professional sound than the other Brit-punk bands of '77. They also show a good range. Persecution Complex and Movement are full-bore rockers, while City Drones is more melodic, and Sad So Sad features the kind of football-chant chorus that became emblematic of British punk.

The CD contains the very well-produced Further Temptations album and uses its famous 'blue girl' cover (worth the price of admission by itself!), along with the earlier ep Temptations of a White Collar Worker, which has terrible production and, in the anthemic You'll Lose, remarkably obnoxious lyrics. The CD ends with the Can't See single, which walks a thin line between being really cool and sucking really hard. It was their attempt to remake themselves as a pop band, which obviously failed.

Unfortunately, we don't know why it failed since there is no retrospective included in this compilation. This is a sinful omission given the high quality and historical importance of this CD, but don't let that stop you from enjoying one of the finest Brit-punk albums of 1977.
