Time Will Show The Wiser-The Bucketfull Of Brains Collection (1989)

This is a nice little compilation celebrating the first ten years of the influential Bucketfull Of Brains fanzine out of the U.K. Most of these tracks were either unreleased at the time, alternate versions, and/or were given away as free flexi discs with the original issues.

"Bucketfull Of Brains was founded in 1979 by Nigel Cross. It has published continuously since that time under a series of editorial teams. It covers a wide-range of musics; an erstwhile sub-title listed "rock, garage, psych, folk-rock, pop, rock’n’roll”, and to that can now be added country, soul and glam and probably more. Throughout its life it has retained an affection for songs with guitars and thus bands like the Barracudas, the Flamin’ Groovies, the Dream Syndicate, the Long Ryders and the Green Pajamas hold a special place in its affections."

Mumps-How I Saved The World

"Along with Blondie, Television, and the Ramones, Mumps were pioneers of the NYC CBGBs/Max's scene from 1975-1980, amassing a huge cult following for their wild and unpredictable stage shows, led by the maniacal gyrations of the notorious Lance Loud, the first reality T.V. star. The literate '60s-pop-informed compositions of Kristian Hoffman claimed a lost punk bubble-anthem territory somewhere between the Kinks, Abba, and Wild Man Fischer. Soho News called Mumps a "hard driving, tightly pulled together powerhouse package, with a genuine teen idol out front."
This compilation contains everything on their critically acclaimed 1995 retrospective CD Fatal Charm (about which Mojo simply stated "I love it!") plus 10 unreleased songs, extensive new notes in a 24 page all color booklet, plus a live DVD of vintage never-before-seen footage, directed and edited by Dave Markey (director: 1991 - The Year Punk Broke). All tracks digitally remastered in 2005." (Sympathy For The Record Industry)
