Product Description

Brash, high-powered, and endlessly fun, CAN'T STAND THE REZILLOS: THE (ALMOST) COMPLETE REZILLOS is a perfect overview of the short-lived punk act. The title of the collection is a statement of fact: This album includes most of the Rezillos recorded output with the exception of some singles, covers, and live cuts. But the material that is here-- which includes the band's stellar debut and the live MISSION ACCOMPLISHED-- shows off the Rezillos' exuberant charm, bratty, punk-rock edge, and girl-group-inflected sense of pop to superb effect, making this compilation a minor punk classic.

Customer Reviews

Legend !!!
I only own one piece of vinyl, I tracked a copy down in an independent record shop more than 20 years ago and have held onto it proudly ever since. Remarkably I find that 'Can't Stand The Rezillos' is on CD. This is THE album of its time. Outstanding !!

Great Nostalgia Value
I owned this album on vinyl many years ago and loved it, so I thought I would grab myself a bargain and get the CD. It is definitely an essential part of any retro-punk CD collection, possibly in the top 10 albums. But then I see all these reviews saying that the Rezillos were a welcome change from all the other bands who took themselves too seriously, and that these bands 'struggled' whilst the Rezillos thrived. Only the facts are that the Rezillos packed it in after a couple of years while the likes of the Clash soldiered on right through the 80's. So where is the evidence for that?

The Rezillos were great and brought something new to the table, but they were inspired by groups like the Sex Pistols, they owed their very existence to punk rock groups like that who were in the vanguard against the awful 'progressive' rock that dominated in the mid-70's.

And you didn't have to be spotty to care about unemployment either.

"I like it"
I first came aross The Rezillos when Peely played "I Can't Stand My Baby" on his late night Radio 1 show around August 1977 and I bought both of the albums on vinyl at their release.
Couldn't believe it when I saw it had been released on CD.

This is good time, tongue-in-cheek punk, no pretentious crap, just slam it in the CD player and enjoy it
