  1. Wow! You even managed to find a dark sounding Big Star song! This collection slowly morphs from menacing to gleefully retro. It's quite good. The Raven was a great album for The Stranglers, marking their transition into a mellower tone. In my, probably incorrect or at least unpopular, opinion, their next truly great album was Suite XVI, some 27 years later.

    But anyway, kudos on finding a less-dated Lords of the New Church song. It's amazing how poorly songs like Russian Roulette aged. Great collection, ordered perfectly too!
