Generally all you really need from The Rezillos on one compact disc.  Scottish 70's punk rock, the 1978 debut Can't Stand The Rezillos came back to back with 1979's live Mission Accomplished...But The Beat Goes On, which they tacked on as much as they could fit on one cd.

The big hit is the rework of Peter Greene era Fleetwood Mac's "Someone's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight."  The Rezillos are not shy on covers: "Glad All Over," "Ballroom Blitz" and "I Need You" all show up as well as the Clarence & Calvin R&B song from 1963 "I Like It."

As for the rest, the big hit is the opener "Flying Saucer Attack."  The rest is enjoyable punk/new wave.

More of a party than the Pistols, not quite B-52's level.

Nobody really listens to Bob for blind spiritual uplift or at least I didn't.  The Christian records were the voice of a wrathful God and everybody ripped "Wiggle Wiggle" apart when Bob just wanted you to enjoy life and dance. For me, I look to Bob to push intellectual, sonic or my own nostalgic buttons, if I'm gonna be hon
