"Thank goodness for people like Brian at GTA(Grand Theft Audio) for seeing the greatness in material like this and others and re-releasing them on cd, with lotsa extras. First, this cd gives you the bands first 7", Let's Barbecue, a six song ep released in '83, with some extra songs from the sessions. Song 14 begins The Wacky Hi-Jinks Of... lp, which was 14 songs of pure adrenalin soaked hardcore released in '84, with their now signature funny lyrics about cars and gas stations and the like. Then, as if that wasn't enough, from song 29 to 44 is a live set from, well, I don't know exactly. It's got a song or 2 from their 2nd also excellent(and now also available on Relapse Records with 6 bonus tracks from those sessions, also a must have)album, Humongousfungusamongus, so you know that it's around 84-85, and it's great. All in all if you like speedy hardcore that's tight and funny and better than any so called punk band that you can name that are happening today, then go and get this and anything else you can find by them, it's all great. Well, Ishtar ain't so great, but everything else they did is, so go and find it. Try BOMP records web page and go to their GTA page. You won't be disappointed."
