benpaco 01/29/2016 05:10 in Compilation vs Studio Album“My "hey what are these vinyl things anyways" introduction was also my introduction to New Wave.

Plainly put, it's hard to find a better collection of live material of early 80s Punk/New Wave.
However, the live video collection is better, with more performances from even more obscure acts (any ever heard of Invisible Sex? All right then, they're in the video but not here). That version also benefits from the visual stimuli. However, the album still retains most of the greatness.
