Review

Q (5/95, pp.130-132) - 3 Stars - Good - "...This compilation condenses 20 tracks from their three albums--too much at one sitting but a rare treat with judicious programming."

Title Note

Proteges of The Motors, whose Will Garvey produced their first album, The Records are sometimes unfairly judged in relation to their friends and to leader Will Birch's first band, the legendary pub-rockers the Kursaal Flyers. Even a cursory listen to this best-of compilation proves that if anything, The Records were even better than The Motors. Certainly their high points are higher; the single "Starry Eyes" is a snarky power pop classic, a raised middle finger to a former manager that's as cheerfully homicidal as Elvis Costello at his most unsettling. While the band never quite reached those heights again, "Teenarama" is a more pungent version of XTC's "Life begins at the Hop," and Birch's "Hearts In Her Eyes" is such a winsome jangle pop classic that the almighty Searchers covered it in 1980.
