Double CD set that is loaded with all the band's original singles (A and B-sides) from their debut 45 in 1977 ('Suspect Device') up through their final single before the original line-up broke up in '82 ('The Price of Admission'). from the raw Punk energy of their early singles to the mature and less intense later tracks, Stiff Little Fingers were great songwriters all along. With Jake Burns on guitar and most lead vocals, SLF were destined to conquer the Punk world, and they did it brilliantly. From tracks like 'Alternative Ulster', Gotta Getaway', 'At the Edge' and 'Nobody's Hero' up through 'Listen', 'Bits of Kids', 'Just Fade Away' and 'Stands to Reason', SLF were never less than great. This is the perfect introduction to one of the finest bands of the Punk era. EMI. 2005.
