This record is Redd Kross at their artistic peak, where they had finally found their kitsch pop nitch, but hadn't quite fully outgrown their earlier teen punker pose. It is a bit of of the old thing, but more a preview of their glamerous glittery future. The bonus tracks look to be mostly from the "Tater Totz" record, which wasn;t the greatest (they were named the Tater totz for one record for some weird record industry legality problem BS). The preceding album of all covers, Teen Babes from Montesano is freakin' excellent too, and so is their big 90's grunge era breakthru "Phaseshifter." If you like melodic rock n roll music with a heavy dose of all things teenage 70's kitsch, you can't go wrong with this band on any record. I'm a big freakin' fan since about '85. The last time I ever saw them was in a bigtime concert setting, as the very first act before Meat Puppets and Stone Simple Pirates being the unremarkable headliners, and I just dont think the fratboy crowd "got" Redd Kross. A couple years previously I saw them during the early Phaseshifter period at RockCndy in Seattle in an unnannounced free show, in which Kurdt Kobain came out at the end for a couple numbers, and it was freakin' excellent. Redd Kross forever!!!
