| | Clay Records Punk Singles Collection CD
The Clay Records Punk Singles Collection captures some of the prime material released on one of the most important labels in Britain's transition from punk to hardcore. The collection is naturally dominated by Discharge, who have eight of the 22 songs here; there are also multiple selections from GBH, the Abrasive Wheels, and the Lurkers, plus one track apiece by the Killjoys and future goth mainstays the Sex Gang Children. While it might be better for some fans to simply pick up compilations by the individual artists for a more detailed look, this will serve those who simply want a more concise overview. ~ Steve Huey

| | Queen II CD (1974)
Clay Records Punk Singles Collection
$11.99 
Although QUEEN II borders on heavy metal (it wasn't until their next release, SHEER HEART ATTACK, that they began experimenting with other musical forms), the songwriting and playing is still top-notch. Queen was criticized by some in the press upon the release of QUEEN II, since there was simply nothing to compare it to--it encompassed glam, progressive, and metal, with a healthy dose of studio wizardry.
QUEEN II contained the band's first official UK hit--the mystical "Seven Seas of Rhye"--and, as on their debut a year prior, the lesser-known material is just as delightful. Singer Freddie Mercury and guitarist Brian May contribute one lovely ballad each--"White Queen (As It Began)" and "Some Day One Day." The latter does a splendid job of breaking up this otherwise continuously hard-rocking album. Other intriguing titles include "Ogre Battle," "The March of the Black Queen," and a strong bonus b-side--the bluesy "See What a Fool I've Been."
In one regard, Queen II does indeed provide more of the same thing as on the band's debut. Certainly, of all the other albums in Queen's catalog it bears the closest resemblance to its immediate predecessor, particularly in its lean, hard attack and in how it has only one song that is well-known to listeners outside of their hardcore cult: in this case, it's "Seven Seas of Rhye," which is itself more elliptical than "Keep Yourself Alive," the big song from the debut. But these similarities are superficial and Queen II is a very different beast than its predecessor, an album that is richer, darker, and weirder, an album that finds Queen growing as a band by leaps and bounds. There is still a surplus of ideas, but their energies are better focused this time around, channeled into a over-inflated, pompous rock that could be called prog if it wasn't so heavy. Even with all the queens and ...

| | Horace X Strategy CD (2005)
Clay Records Punk Singles Collection
$9.95
Horace X's hyper-eclectic mixture of dancehall, Celtic, and other styles isn't quite as vivid on Strategy as it was on their previous album, Sackbutt. The musical potpourri seems a bit less distinctive and the individual songs don't stand out as much, partly because of the increased reliance on programmed rhythms and other electronic elements. Nonetheless, this is a fun, danceable album by a tight band. The reggae influence is evident from the opening track, "First Love," as is the juxtaposition of Simon Twitchin's ragga style vocals with Hazel Faibairn's fiddling, which is particularly vital on the album's title track. Meanwhile, the other bandmembers, including Pete Newman on various ...
