Now an Edmonton Compilation which had a lot of interesting bands on it, not all Punkrock but really cool. A review first: This new Canadian compilation is very much like the English samplers that proliferated wildly in the ’78 epoch, in that it features a bunch of Pop bands and one or two token punk groups. Of the latter, SNFU produces two powerful mid-tempo gems with crunching guitars and sing-along choruses (including the classic “Real Men Don’t Watch Quincy”), while Down Syndrome offers a couple of raunchy garage Punkers. Of the pop bands, the Standards and the Thieves stand out above the wimpy pack by virtue of a heavier guitar sound and an unobtrusive ’60s tinge. The overall effect is rather refreshing in our current era of musical segregation. (Jeff Bale, MRR #12 • March 1984) All in all, a comfortable and stress-free selection that is perfect for cooking and I will now put it into practice and conjure up some meatballs, perhaps I will send you a small visual impression of this. But first I want to get one or teo beers to come in the right mood, while I'm working on another selfmade-sampler and yesterday I dusted off my place so the girls can come.
