When I heard this band for the first time I was totally excited. Back then the music came out on the airwaves via KBD Records and I was immediately interested in more material from the boys. And the Japanese reissue label 1977 Records released this fantastic compilation twelve years ago with all their few studio songs plus live nuggets, the recordings of which are acceptable. This neat piece features not only great music but also a few pictures and a short biography and is really worth every damn cent. A bit info: Culture Shock was a four piece PowerPop/Punk from Vancouver and consisted of Brian (vocals), Steve (guitars), Gordon (bass), Rob (drums). They peppered their own material with energetic cover versions (especially during live performances) and initially gigging as The Zoo back in 1979, they changed their name to Culture Shock and in 1983 they recorded their only 7Inch (300 cpoies) which is today extremely rare and highly sought after. Overall, this CD is a joy to listen to and the incomparably emotional lyrics are worthy of all praise. Killer!
