History has taught that the Sex Pistols didn't do themselves many favors by sacking bassist Glen Matlock in favor of public spectacle and heroin poster boy Sid Vicious, especially since it soon became obvious that without Matlock, the Pistols didn't have an especially strong songwriter onboard (or a bassist with a working command of his instrument). However, left to his own devices, Matlock wasn't in much better shape; after leaving the Pistols, Matlock formed the Rich Kids, and while he brought his knack for a hook with him, his new band wasn't nearly as exciting (admittedly a tall order). Featuring former Silk kid and future Ultravox frontman Midge Ure on vocals, drummer Rusty Egan (whose future resumé would include stints in Visage and Thin Lizzy), and guitarist Steve New along with Matlock, the Rich Kids had chops and enthusiasm, but a rather lopsided sense of direction, wavering between punk and glam without ever landing comfortably in either, and while the band managed a few stray tracks that worked -- most notably their self-titled debut single and the title cut from their sole album, Ghosts of Princes in Towers -- most of their output was goopy and overdone (Mick Ronson's production on the album didn't help one bit), with Ure's highly theatrical vocal style more than a bit irritating in large doses. Best of the Rich Kids collects practically everything you could want from this band -- it features the Ghosts of Princes in Towers album in its entirety (and in sequence), along with a dozen single tracks, live cuts, and unreleased tunes, which means you get the handful of career highlights along with everything else that cluttered up this group's catalog, all in cleanly remastered form. If you want a Rich Kids CD, Best of the Rich Kids is doubtless the one to get, but it's an open question how often you'll ever bother to listen to the disc all the way through after cherry-picking the three or four obvious gems and putting them on your homemade "punk also-rans" compilation. ~ Mark Deming

Digitally remastered 2003 compilation for British punk act founded by The Sex Pistols' Glen Matlock, features 23 tracks including 9 bonus tracks, 'No Lip', 'The Move', 'Shape Of Things To Come', 'King', 'Precious', 'Just Like Lazarus', 'Ambition', 'Twisted' & 'Tomorrow's Zero'. The first 14 tracks are from the 1993 Dojo Records reissue of the album Ghosts Of Princes In Towers with the 3 B-sides that were included at the time, 'Empty Words', 'Here Comes The Nice' (live) & 'Only Arsenic'. EMI.

CD contains 9 bonus tracks.

There have been dozens and dozens of Motörhead compilations released over the decades, but the first one remains definitive, even if it's not perfect. Released in 1984 as a gap-filler -- for Motörhead were regrouping in the wake of the bandmember shuffling that followed the odd Another Perfect Day album -- No Remorse compiled two-dozen songs across two discs (latter-day editions adding a good serving of bonus tracks, too). Many of the band's best songs to date are ...

Life Size may take a while for traditional fans of Citizen Fish to get used to, but lyrically and musically, it shows a continued progression in this British four-piece's work. The music is groovier, the hooks are catchier, and the singer still can't pronounce things correctly from time to time, as many non-British listeners may find lead singer Dick Lukas's accent to be an interesting style of singing. Much of the lyrical content deals with political issues, specifically as they apply to the United Kingdom. While this may seemingly turn many off, Citizen ...
