Featuring hit singles and deep cuts from some of the era's biggest names are joined by rare tracks, cult classics and fascinating obscurities. A follow-up to Cherry Red's well-received 2018 compilation 'Harmony In My Head', 'Kids On The Street' is another 3CD, four-hour smorgasbord of top pop tunes from the British power pop and new wave scenes of the late Seventies\/early Eighties as the punk revolution evolved into a more radio-friendly sound. Hit singles from some of the era's most vital acts (The Stranglers, Pretenders, The Ruts, The Teardrop Explodes, Elvis Costello) are joined by key cuts from seminal albums by the likes of The Jam, Squeeze and XTC. The mod revival is represented by such names as Squire, The Circles, Smart Alec and pre- Direct Hits band The Exits, power pop royalty includes The Records, The Pleasers and The Jags, while there are cult favourites from The Soft Boys, The Distractions, Radio Stars and many others. Joining the boys about town and kids on the street are pub rock veterans The Motors (with John Peel's favourite track of 1977), former Bonzos man Neil Innes' Beatles spoof The Rutles, Slade spin-off Dummies and beat boom veterans The Searchers, enjoying a new lease of life as the new wave of power pop bands updated their pioneering 60s sound. Housed in a stylish clamshell box, and featuring a booklet that includes notes on each individual track, 'Kids On The Street' is a riveting reminder of a sound that dominated the British pop scene for a brief but highly creative period.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKids on the Street - the Stiffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBabylon's Burning (Single Version) - the Ruts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBloodline - Bram Tchaikovsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome on Stupid - the Flys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmash It Up - the Damned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeekend - the Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime to Kill - Clive Culbertson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTowers of London (Album Version) - XTC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Time - the Wasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Think So - the Smirks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond Smiles - the Boomtown Rats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Own Way - Shake Appeal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTonight, Tonight - Speed-O-Metors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccidents Will Happen - Elvis Costello and the Attractions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotorbike Beat - the Revillos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGina - Salford Jets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI-Spy - Rudi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuchess - the Stranglers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYesterday's Love - Any Trouble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOh Girl - the Freshies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife on the Line - Eddie and the Hot Rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Doesn't Love Me - Cramp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTalk of the Town - Pretenders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNervous Wreck - Radio Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoubleback Alley - the Rutles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoy About Town - the Jam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am a Case - the Reaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeed Somebody to Love - the V.I.P.'s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound of Confusion - Secret Affair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTomorrow - Sta-Prest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircles - the Circles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoman's World - the Jags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead in the Clouds - Ada Wilson and Keeping Dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Way Love - the Innocents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaiting for the Weekend (Single Version) - the Vapors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnother Girl - the Vandells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSometimes Good Guys Don't Follow Trends - the Teenage Filmstars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wanna Be Your Boyfriend - Squire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGirl in a Picture - the Exits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sound of the Suburbs (Single Version) - the Members\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriday Night - the Kraze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeave You to Dream - the Distractions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby, Baby - the Vibrators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Beat Drill - the Steppes (Aka the Fifty Fantastics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHung on You - Rich Kids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeighbourhood Girls - the Barracudas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake It - the Quads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVicky Verky - Squeeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeer, Baccy, Bingo and Benidorm (Album Version) - Inner City Unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScooter Boys - Smart Alec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Don't Know - the Pleasers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove's Melody (Single Version) - the Searchers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDancing the Night Away (Album Version) - the Motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wanna Destroy You - the Soft Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilicon Carne - the Monochrome Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Step on the Cracks - Wah!
