"i say this collection put out by DrStrange records is WAY better than the 'singles'collection put out by Anagram records_UK in 1997.but even this collection has songs that really stink. i've never been a big fan of PTTB, but their live show has kicked azz every time i've seen them. i recommend you either see PTTB live or just save your money....end...."

"While I don't like any particular records by these guys as a whole,this best of is really that,and not a handful of randomly picked songs like many of these type of records out there.This one is compiled by punk connaiseur Mark Brennan,and features 23 songs in 75' +,mainly singles and a coupla well recorded live tracks.The songs are arranged in chronological order so you have the more oi ! ones first,flirtation with reggae and ska in the middle (don't worry,only one song of each of those-actually good stuff !! ) and closing the record are a set of energetic after punk ones.The sound is not top notch but is pretty even throughout the whole cd (for a comp ).I recommend this as an introduction to the band or to people like me who just want to sing along those good old,well known tunes."
