Buyer beware. isn't just a compilation of 's finest moments from the '80s, but a collection of recordings by , an early version of the Los Angeles band. The recordings feature lead singer and a backing band, with cameo appearances by '80s shredders ( , ) and (L.A. Guns). All of the hits are represented here: and all appear here in fine form. These are re-recordings, so the digital age has polished the sound up a bit and gives the song a bit of an unnecessary coating of shine. For those looking for a greatest-hits record but don't mind not having the original performances, this is a sensible purchase. But for those looking for the original hits and original recordings by , it would be better to seek out 2002's excellent compilation. ~ Rob Theakston
