Just Released: The Anthology by the Crooks consists of their 1980 album Just Released augmented by their single "Modern Boys" b/w "Bangin' My Head". The second disc is where the real value is, a never-released live recording from the Marquee Club in London. Most of the repertory is shared with that studio album, only it's about twice as good here, and that goes for the playing and the singing -- the whole disc is one of the most bracing live albums of its era and by itself would be worth what Castle is asking for this double-disc set. Listening to it, one wishes that the Soft Boys could've left behind a live document this good. The only peculiarity is that their set includes "Bangin' My Head," the B-side of their single, but not the A-side; still, there's not a false or wrong note here on a truly great and unique legacy.
Special Thanx to J"The Mod"Paul for this excellent contribution!
