One of my favourite dutch compilation is this rare record on Loof Records because here is a decent mix of ska/punk/newwave/powerpop & rockabilly stuff and I like variety. I guess due to the low punk factor the record is not very famous but I promise you it's worth a listen. The Winos come along with three ska influenced numbers and the singer is great, he sings sloppily you know, very charmin'. The Dip offers two powerpop goodies, nice cozy, pleasant. Rockin' Billies with two rockin's, a Carl Perkins classic and a beautiful slushy ballad, Yes! Side b with the Scissors, the new wave sound here with nice keys, a little melancholic, both tracks a dreamy atmosphere. Then Antidote, five fast tracks with the highest punk/hardcore factor, just right after the two quieter songs. Last but not least the only band of all who made a mini-LP called 'Hollanditus Provocatus' in 1984, also on Loof Records, with two cool ska tracks. Overall a very good album that impresses with its versatility, bands that nobody knows, nice artwork and here's something for everyone. Enjoy!!
