The Undertones - The Undertones [Bonus Tracks]

This Sanctuary Records reissue of The Undertones' catalog is more than just a straight redo of the Rykodisc attempt in the 1990s. For starters, all original artwork has been restored; secondly, the tapes have been remastered to current digital standards; thirdly, the Sanctuary versions contain solid liner notes. Lastly and more importantly, these versions, especially of the band's debut LP, contain more bonus material, including outtakes of "True Confessions" and unreleased takes of "You've Got My Number (Why Don't You Use It!)" and a stellar version of "Let's Talk About Girls." Musically, the 1978 Undertones debut remains a masterpiece of punk rock at its most innocent, ambitious, and downright fun. Read More
