The Boys
Satisfaccion Garantizada CD (RWY 001)
"The Boys are back!" And wouldnīt that
be a dream come true... Anyway thatīs how this new collection of undying
punkrock/rockīn roll classics begins. By one of the most important and
influential bands of all time. In my world that is, and should be in
every other rockīn rollers too! Released by Rockaway Records from Buenos
Aires, Argentina, this might be a bit hard to find in the ordinary
record stores, but itīs no problem to order it directly from Rockaway.
Or you can get in touch with me and Iīll get some more copies of this
fantastic comp. Already sold out five!
The show starts with "Brickfield Nights" through the lovely "Terminal
Love" and already well satisfied by the third track, "Satisfaction
Guaranteed", indeed! "First time" is of course here, which
some might remember The Vikings did a more than allright version of some
years ago. "Jimmy Brown" (check out the blistering version Michael
Monroe did on his "Watcha want"-record, "TCP" (which another Hanoi
Rocks, Mr. Gyp Casino and the Nomads has done good tributes of),
"Weekend" and "See ya later" makes this a must-have for anyone with
their minds off track. All in all 15 greats from the Boys
back-catalogue, including "Svengerland" from the deleted cd-single by
the same name. Bonus tracks include "Heroine" and "Sick on you" with Die
Toten Hosen singer Campino on vox, and most of all, four videos thatīs
worth the price alone! So for the Boys-fan that has everything these
vids of "Brickfield Nights"(1978), "Sway"(1978), "Weekend"(1981) and
"Brickfield Nights"(1996) is just the perfect thing. For everybody else,
you need this disc, so just let go of
whatever youīre doing and buy this masterpiece. The booklet shows an article Joey Ramone wrote
for Punk Magazine in 1981 with the headline Give the Boys a break!! And
you all know that good old Joey always was right!
If I had some way of giving records grades, this one I would throw a
thousand six-eyed dices and a hell of alot pirate queens!
