Great Stuff!

Sadly confined to the one hit wonder bins, the Vapors made smart, catchy, oddly paranoid music that was too weird for the teeny-boppers, but the boys were too pretty for the \"serious\" crowd. Letter from Hiro remains an undiscovered gem, and Jimmie Jones remains the catchiest tune about a mass suicide ever.

Great! But has holes...

This is a real find. Great collection but two big omissions: "Live at the Marquee" and "Magnets," both off of the Magnets LP. All of New Clear Days is on here, tho', and that was a sign-post album of New Wave music, in my humble opinion.
