  1. Holy crap! I haven't heard the title track (Options) for -- going on 30 years, I guess. Never really knew who did it. I just know I played the crap out of This Is Boston, Not L.A. for a few months when it came out.

    For some reason Shudder To Think stayed under my radar for all these years - not anymore, thanks to you. Also, love the Beefheart and Hawkins picks. The whole thing plays like the soundtrack to an action movie I really want to see. Love this compilation!

    1. That's high praise! Thanks. I've actually only recently delved into Shudder To Think myself. I can't speak to the rest of their stuff yet, but their first record is fairly excellent.
