Drop out with The Barracudas

"This box collects an awful lot of early Barracudas. But despite its bulk and the presence of tons of songs they never issued at the time, almost everything - even the raw rehearsal cuts - sounds daisy fresh and is hugely enjoyable".

"This set captures their very first riptide, from 1977, with initial demos, rehearsals, covers and live tapes, through to their first (and, IMHO, best) LP record, entitled as is this boxset, hoovering up the singles and offcuts as it goes. Ending in '81 . Four years. And, as the blurb says, four great guys and three great chords. Seatbelt fastened? ... As we know, Gluck and Wills far from threw in the towel, and whether Cherry Red do a similar job with their later output remains to be seen. But, however many warts and all, this is still a worthy collection, showcasing the promise and sheer damned enthusiasm of these two obsessives, hooked on psych-garage, schooled in punk, drawing on both and realising their dream, or certainly a version of it".
