Originally released in 1980, this Kim Fowley-produced collection of studio outtakes and live cuts came a year after the split. Patched up it may be?thereโs good reason why covers of โStrawberry Fieldsโ and โHere Comes The Sunโ had remained in the vaults?thereโs nevertheless much hair-shaking to be had with the live bubblegumfuzz of Joan Jettโs โCโmonโ and โBlackmailโโs strutting pop-punk, while โHollywood Cruisin'โ unashamedly hams up Fowleyโs early โjailbait-Ramonesโ hype. More than just a curio, though.
