Is there a finer green-blooded punk band in all of Boston than the Dropkick Murphys? The Singles Collection 1996-1997 answers the question with a rousing "Oy!". Like all good punk outfits, the Dropkick Murphys recorded several 7-inch records and toured diligently; most DM fans will have most of these tracks, but will probably want crunchy, angry anthems such as "Fightstarter Karaoke" and "Regular Guy" on compact disc. In addition to this material are 10 live numbers from the Do or Die record release show. The sonic document perfectly captures the Murphys' harsh sizzle and, combined with the rest of the disc, distracts from the fact that The Singles Collection contains three--count 'em, three--Clash covers! At least their allegiances are clear. --Jason Josephes

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great for the true fan.......2007-02-07

This CD has some favorite tracks you've heard before, and some tracks that only appeared on singles. The versions of songs from Do or Die aren't as good as the originals from Do or Die, but some of the new songs (Front Seat, Guns of Brixton) are great additions to any fan's catalog. Also, the live songs are pretty decent. Pick this album up only if you have their other CDs.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing for a DK fan who heard "Worker's Song".......2006-03-08

I was REALLY psyched when I heard "Workers Song". I had never heard Dropkick Murphys before, but I like punk, and especially meaningful punk, a la Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Sex Pistols, Clash, Flipper, DOA, and others. I should have listened to the reviews that mentioned it was all three chords and lots of noise.

I don't think the Dropkick Murphys are the problem - they seem to be a GREAT group. I readily identify with the "Irish Pride" thing, even though I'm only a little Irish (probably about 1/8 or so), because of the persecution they've suffered at the hands of the English (one of my favorite songs of all time is John & Yoko's "Luck of the Irish"). Irish suffrage and Irish pride are not empty phrases to me, and for that reason alone, I like the music and the points that DM raises in some of its songs.

Maybe I should have just settled for the CD with the song I liked and gone from there. I listened to a couple of other songs on "Blackout" and I will be buying that CD. So, while I can't give the above CD more than 2 stars, I still give the Dropkick Murphys group 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars Aezome.......2005-03-16

A very catchy cd witch some very good songs. Rock with some irish flavor.

HAPPY ST PATTYS DAY

5 out of 5 stars do or die.......2004-02-21

5 out of 5 stars Damn fine CD.......2003-12-20

This album is friggen awesome anyone that is a fan of dropkick murphys should buy this, it has all the classic songs and some covers of songs by the clash and AC/DC. I highly reccomend this album

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Top notch listening.......2006-10-28

Prior to this year I couldn't have named one song by Mink Deville. I happened to pick up a punk compilation one day which had "Spanish Stroll" as one of the tracks. Then I was hooked. The group was early on identified with the punk movement because of their performances at various punk venues. But Mink Deville has no ties to the Ramones or the Velvet Underground. This is essential rock n' roll and smooth ballads. Willie Deville's vocals and the instrumentation introduce a bluesy Spanish flavor with even an occasional accordion thrown in the mix.

I was so impressed with this disk that I went out and bought the two CD set "Willie Deville In Berlin" which I would also highly recommend.

4 out of 5 stars Sin of omission.......2005-05-25

A valiant try at a worthy "best of" collection. With 22 tracks, there's no excuse for omitting "Heaven Stood Still." But any effort to get these other 22 great songs into people's ears is an effort worth commending. If you don't know Willie DeVille, begin with this one, then quickly buy the recent re-issue of Le Chat Bleu.

5 out of 5 stars A Real Soul Singer.......2003-01-08

This is an outstanding collection of songs ranging from gritty rockers to lovely ballads by a terrific singer. Fans of (early) Springsteen and Southside Johnny will love this stuff.

5 out of 5 stars Thumbs Up.......2007-04-14

I purchased this CD used for the Big in Japan track because I was having a difficult time finding it on an online music service.

I am glad that I did because I found that
I like the other tracks on the CD as well or better than
Big in Japan.

I would highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Awsome!.......2003-02-17

Alphaville is awsome. The song Big In Japan is one of the best songs period in my opinion. It gives me the chills. This album is worth everypenny, from the way the CD starts on forever young with that really captivating beggining till the remix version of Big in Japan. Damn awsome!!

4 out of 5 stars Brilliant group, not so good filler album for the US marketý.......2001-08-28

This "album" was a US only compilation release for the US market as evidenced by the liner notes. This is an obvious but wasted attempt by Atlantic Records to get some exposure for this very under-rated German synth band. Alphaville had released two album by this point, the classic that was Forever Young and it's brilliant follow-up Afternoons In Utopia. This compilation doesn't do either albums justice but does bring together on disc some tracks that would probably not have made to the CD format. The Special Extended Mix of Forever Young takes a good 80's synth ballad and turns into a 6 minute dance song that is even better. Red Rose and Big In Japan were remixed in 1988 for some reason and both single versions are included here as well as the 88 remix of Big In Japan. This album also contains the original 12" mixes of Red Rose and Dance With Me. I loved every one of these tracks and as a big Alphaville fan I have no qualms in purchasing this CD. 8 tracks, 4 songs - 2 from each album. Why? The tracks are not bad by any means, but this compilation could have been so much better - check out First Harvest as the definitive Alphaville singles collection so far released 4 years after this in 1992. This CD would have been better being classified as an EP and was a wasted opportunity in promoting Alphaville to a wider audience.

5 out of 5 stars Very good lost CD from the 80's........2001-05-16

I found this CD in a bargain bin at the local record store and picked it up. It's a good CD which brings up a lot of nostalgia from the 80's. Track 5 is my personal favorite, but all 8 tracks are worthy of a listen.

4 out of 5 stars You must really like Alphaville.......2001-01-11

If you came to this page you must really like Alphaville - you know the songs by heart, you love them, you have heard them 1000s of times. Under the circumstances, the only usefull thing to say is probably: BE AWARE THAT THE CD CONTAINS ONLY 4 SONGS, EACH IN TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONs. But if you are here that probably won't stop you, will it? It didn't stop me.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great set of rare songs and covers.......2007-02-07

This collection has some amazing tracks; I can't believe that some of them didn't make it onto the normal albums. There are a bunch of covers, like Halloween by The Misfits, Vengeance by The Nipple Erectors, Informer by The Business, and Watch Your Back by Cock Sparrer. Additionally, the Business and DKM team up to perform Mob Mentality. Some great DKM originals include 21 Guitar Salute and Pipebomb On Lansdowne (Dance Remix). Mostly covers here, but they're really well done. I highly recommend this CD.

5 out of 5 stars This Is Awesome..........2005-11-28

This is such an awesome collection here, I'm really glad it was released. Basically this is just a cover CD, with the exception of a few songs. But when you put a great band like Dropkick covering great songs, you get great results. They cover everything from rock classics like "Its A Long Way To The Top" and "Fortunate Son" to Cock Sparrer "Shock Troops" era classics like "Working" and "Watch Your Back". And then there is the hilarious remix of "Pipebomb" (its a joke people!). They also cover my favorite Sham 69 song on here, so thats cool too. This is just a great cd period. Highly reccomended to anyone.

2 out of 5 stars Very disapointing.......2005-04-21

I already have all these songs, and I was looking foward to cd quality versions of songs that I only have on vinyl. I was exremely disapointed to find out that they censored Pipebomb on Landsdowne Street. What a rip off!!!! The unsencored version's hillarious and was meant as a joke, but the band pussied out and censored it probably cause they thought that they'd offend some people. Man this band used to be cool, now they're just a bunch of pussies. I recomend you hunt down the AF split and listen to the uncensored version of the song.

4 out of 5 stars Great collection for any fan.......2005-03-12

The Singles Collection brings together a bunch of rare tracks from various Dropkick Murphys singles, compilations or splits. All the good stuff from those is here. If you're a hardcore Dropkick Murphys then you probably have all these tracks already but this is a great thing for the casual fan.

There is a lot of good stuff here. There's a surprisingly strong cover of AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock & Roll)" complete with good vocals. A great cover of Gang Green's alcohol. A very garage sounding cover of CCR's oft covered "Fortunate son". "21 Guitar Salute" is a strong cover of the great Press song and the anthemic "Working" is a great addition. The album is mainly covers with a few original songs along with a few splits like the Dropkick Murphys/Business split "Mob Mentality". The covers are for the most part including covers from **** Sparrer, Danzig, and Motorhead amongst others.

The quality of the album and the presentation is strong and all the songs sound as crisp as any of their albums. The strong vocal quality, talented instrumental work and original sound are all here in full force so this should be a good buy for any Dropkick Murphys fan. 4 stars.

5 out of 5 stars A MUST FOR ANY DROPKICKS FAN.......2005-03-09

I just bought it today since i got it, i have been in love with it. There are lots of covers but thats not a bad thing. Another good thing is that Al Barr is singing alot and i think hes the better singer. The only downside to this cd is they only play bag pipes in three or four songs. You all should buy this cd its worth it trust me

5 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE!.......2006-10-24

This is essential for any fan of late 70's-early 80's punk, and if you're looking for the fun factor it just doesn't get any better than this! From the covers to the originals, this will have your fists going in the air (like mine did on the cover of Nights in White Satin). My only gripe is that I wish tracks from Stukas on Disneyland (another must have)like She's a Hunchback, Pretty Please Me and the cover of Communication Breakdown were included on this. Enough said, GET THIS NOW!

5 out of 5 stars Of course it's great, but...........2006-07-02

What a luxury - to have those Dickies hits available in one place. As an early fan, I can recall enough to realize that a single CD may not be all that heavy-duty fans need. Their first two CDs (Amazing Shrinking Dickies, Dawn of the Dickies) were irresistable, start to finish, and those single tracks (like Banana Splits) indispensible.

Of course, this is a fine sampling of the band's very best work during their prime, but there's a chance you might grow so attached to these tunes that you're tempted to indulge your completist tendencies. Please do so. Even the Dickies' early albun tracks are special, and funny.

5 out of 5 stars There is no more fun band.......2005-12-06

Some of the most tight, humerous and fast songs from talented musicians in punk's history. Basically, their enormous creative period was the late 70's and early 80's. They were one of the few bands that traveled the path of several UK punk bands, they got signed to a big label. The CLASH, the JAM, BUZZCOCKS, SEX PISTOLS and so forth. That was not the norm for most U.S. punk bands. GANG GREEN, DEAD KENNEDYS, BAD BRAINS, X, BLACK FLAG, MINUTEMEN, MINOR THREAT. The biggest punk bands in the U.S. still were on indie labels in the 70's and 80's. The DICKIES were one of the few who were seen by some big label as having commercial potential. Too fast. The music that is. It did help them get known in the U.K. Meanwhile, the DICKIES were still embraced by punx, big label or not. They fell in the catagory of joke band, as in joked a lot.

The covers they did of old rock songs was and is brilliant. Let's just speed 'em up boys. Sounds of Silence and Nights in White Satin were particularly surprising how they could bring them to punk life by performing them with lovely speed. Their first album, originally on yellow vinyl, "The Incredible Shrinking Dickies" falls in the catagory of a perfect album. Every song just is so fun, blazes and the entire lp just races through. I remember playing it back in those days and it really stood out compared to other lps with its humor and very tightly written songs and those unbelievable covers. It's like they reworked some rock songs and showed the impact punk could have on our old rock world. Mainly, it's about the speed, also the attitude. In their case, not anarchy and moaning, but laughing and joking. Actually, much of punk and hardcore has satire and humor but it's not always very obvious.

Their spectacular songs on this collection are: Paranoid, Eve of Destruction, Give It Back, You Drive Me Ape(You Big Gorilla), Sounds of Silence, Hideous, Nights in White Satin, Manny Moe and Jack, She Loves Me Not,
(I'm Stuck in a Pagoda With) Tricia Toyota, Gigantor, Bowling With Bedrock Barney, Silent Night. I've always considered Gigantor to be one of the finest songs ever made by human beings. That slow build up, the crescendo of wall of sound music, the fierce dedication to the fast tempo and recreation of passion for the Japanese cartoon character while, overall, musically it is one perfect gem of fast humoerous punk rock.

I love cds when they bring together scattered songs from a variety of original vinyl releases. Even when I have them all, and, I believe I do have all the albums and 7"s these come from, I rarely break out my vinyl. Not as convient, not portable and vinyl begins to develop pops and crack sounds the more you play them. It's just inevitable. Much less, the many folks who do not have these songs on the original vinyl. Here they are, in all their glory. A tremendous introduction to the DICKIES. Possibly the only record you need to purchase of theirs although you'll be happy to own the first two albums (Incredible... and Dawn of the Dickies) if you love this, you'll want the other songs on those albums too. Thanks guys. Your music will live forever because it's magnificent fast fun! chrisbct@hotmail.com

4 out of 5 stars Good Old-Fashioned Punk.......2005-09-09

Awwww, the memories. Growing up as a School-Kid in dismal London back in the 70's '999' were always my favorite punk band. More fun & less serious than some of their contemporaries (i.e.: Clash/Sex Pistols/Stiff Little Fingers) and certainly less precious than the admittedly brilliant 'Jam'. The songs were short, loud with a good healthy sing-along chorus. 'Emergency' was always their best known track but I think their most punkish songs (is that good English) are 'Nasty Nasty' & the speed-riff 'No Pity', I love trying to sing along the lyrics on that one (Not out loud of course). Although I could never quite get away from the fact that Nick Cash sounded a bit too much like Noddy Holder of 'Slade' on some tracks. Just check out 'Homicide' and see what I mean. All their good stuff is here of course and it's the legit original recordings too (unlike the rip-off CD 'Emergency' which I bought by mistake a while back). If you like good old fashioned punk with a pinch of fun and plenty of energy then pick this puppy up. This is the real old-school of the Punk Day's

4 out of 5 stars THESE OLD GEEZERS ROCK HARD !!!!!!!.......2005-08-23

INDEED ! 1996 compilation of all the early singles of this criminally underrated and vastly imitated (think Olga of Toy Dolls meets Peter And The Test Tube Babies) coz these dudes came first.They already were a pub rock band in 76,and jumped on the 77 punk wagon without loosing their rock'n roll edge.Fun/punk/rock'nroll/pub rock,the energy present in these bass driven,razor sharp,incredibly loud dual guitar songs is unbelievable,and so is the excellent sound I honestly did'nt expect from recordings this old.The last 3 songs flirt with reggae in typical 80's fashion but they work for me.Another outstanding release by Captain Oi !

Album Description

Superfecta presents NMA's first-ever career-spanning 'Best Of' collection, Great Expectations!

18 singles are included--from their indie days on Abstract, to their major label days on EMI and Sony, to their recent releases on Attack Attack. Compiled with the assistance of lead singer/songwriter, Justin Sullivan, this release features hand-picked versions of their singles. The Extended Mix of Poison Street appears for the first time on a commercial CD and a new edit of Purity was requested by Mr. Sullivan himself. Furthermore, seven of the tracks have never before been released in the United States.

Longtime NMA cover artist Joolz has created brand new artwork for the album. And world renowned music critic & NMA fan from day one, Jack Rabid, has composed some stellar liner notes.

All of the tracks have been Digitally Remastered, so whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering New Model Army, this is the collection for you.

5 out of 5 stars an army that will never fall.......2005-01-14

New Model Army has often been compared to the likes of WAR-era U2, The Alarm, and countless obscure UK Punk bands who lean towards political and religious subjects, yet they are in a class by themselves by securing the dubious honor of being one of the few Punk bands to actively incorporate the use of a violin or an acoustic guitar into their sound. if there was ever a band who had such a burning desire in their hearts and minds for anything whatsoever, it is New Model Army. and this album certainly lives up to its title. on 1984's 'The Price', Justin Sullivan's introspective and breathy vocals ignite a passionate fire as he channels the vocal stylings of Sting back in the days when he was fighting for New Wave justice with The Police. on 1987's 'White Coats,' Sullivan and Co. question the existence of life, the tragedy of suicide, and what lies ahead of us in the great beyond. the two most recognized tracks on this disc are both from NMA's standout year of 1989: 'Vagabonds' and 'Green And Grey'. 'Vagabonds' is a true battle cry for anyone who has ever felt lost or alienated as Sullivan chants "we are in this together" in the song's chorus, set to a military-style drum beat, a strong guitar, and a piercing violin strain a la 'Sunday Bloody Sunday.' 'Green And Grey' is a haunting acoustic lament to a deceased friend. if you have ever lost someone you love, this song will surely make you feel their presence. it has also been said that Justin Sullivan's voice is "too pristine" to be fronting a Punk band. but like the music he sings, he is fighting for a noble cause, which in this case would be the fact that Punk doesn't always have to sound chaotic to be considered aggressive. and Sullivan's stunning rasp certainly proves that point.
although New Model Army never reached the enormous amount of popularity that the aforementioned U2 achieved, they remain one of the most driven bands of the 1980's and beyond. no matter what struggles they face, this is one army that will never fall.

5 out of 5 stars As good as a band can possibly be.......2004-05-18

This career-spanning retrospective of NMA is nothing more than a document of the only rock band that really matters anymore. R.E.M. have wandered off somewhere, U2 has become too inconsistent, and Bob Mould seems to have retired. NMA keeps soldiering on, however, and even with a five-year hiatus in the mid-1990s, they still bring that fire and passion that they always did. Every song is delivered as if it is the most important news you'll ever hear, and NMA continue to buck against all trends. While they may never have a massive commercial success here in the US, one listen should convince anyone that there is no one who deserves it more.

This CD suffers from one flaw: it should have been two. There are a few singles missing ("Queen of My Heart", most obviously, as well as the live version of "Space" from 1991's Raw Melody Men), but it gets five stars anyway because the material on it is so crucial and arresting and flat-out fantastic that it could hardly receive anything less. Of particular note is the US-only remix of 1986's "Poison Street", a must for collectors as its album The Ghost Of Cain is widely regarded as one of their best. Three tracks come from 1988's Thunder And Consolation, although in all honesty any three songs from that masterpiece would fit perfectly here. Understand that this is a band whose 1994 b-side compilation sounds better and more complete than almost any other artist's studio release.

NMA have always been overlooked in the US, although as of this writing they are touring here for the first time in at least 10 years, playing clubs around the nation. Any fan of English punk, post-punk, rock, balladry and lyrics that actually say something should absolutely not miss this. Those of you who do not know NMA could very easily start here and hear what happens when you don't sell out.

On a moral point of view, this is the best CD for someone who's poor, like someone on well-fare who has trouble getting out of it. As for the music, it rocks!

5 out of 5 stars raw, hard, and oustanding!.......2004-06-18

finally dug up this CD at the local tower, and let me tell you im blown away. The songs are hard and raw, and never let up. Anyone who appreciates good street punk should check out the unseen. If this CD is your taste, also check out the Casualties, and the Varukers, two other punkcore recording artists!

    5 out of 5 stars ...why did I wait so long to discover you?.......2002-06-11

    As an Milwaukee ex-pat in SF, I first heard of them on the WMSE (milw. school of eng.) radio stream back in feb, and found myself wanting to seek out this album. It's too bad I found about about them too late so no more tours.

    I think it's going to be a long time until I like another female vocalist pop/punk band as much. It's too bad they broke up (right after high school or something?)...

    Now it's time to end this msg and buy their other available stuff!
