V/A - The Quest Tapes 1982

This rare compilation from Quest Records features six bands that didn't appear very much in the music scene or do anything on vinyl, the only exception are School Ties, who released two singles and their version of the Animals classic is worth buying this slab, they trimmed this in a moderate Ska version, superb. The rest of the sound moves between pop, rock & new wave, a little saxophone here, a little synthezier there, just shallow complex catchy songs. Interesting for collectors and not uninteresting for music junkies.
