Various vinyl repressings, original has first Posh Boy logo (broken note) and blue & yellow labels, don’t know if this ever has been changed. First 500 copies have a hand painted sleeve (usually just the title & band names in colored magic marker). Posh Boy CD reissue has tons of bonus tracks by all the bands; Get Back CD has these too, but all the F-Word tracks are missing.

Classic Posh Boy compilation with Simpletones (sunny, poppy, fresh, snotty beach punk with nice vocal arrangements, great teen punk hymns despite the amateurish playing), Rik L Rik (new versions of Negative Trend songs from their 7”/12”, cool gloomy punk rock, catchy music with a rough RnR edge, great) and The Crowd (sounds like a simplified version of the Ramones with some California/beach punk influences). Tons of hits, a classic. [9]

Sampler-Klassiker aus dem Hause Posh Boy. Mit dabei sind die Simpletones (frischer, frecher und sehr poppiger Beach-Punk, mit nettem mehrstimmigen (noch etwas schrägem) Gesang - 5 Tee­nie-Hymnen, klasse), Rik L Rik (unterkühlter, etwas depro-mäßi­ger Punk Rock, eingängige Melodien und ein gewisser Rock’n’Roll-Einschlag, super), und The Crowd (erinnern ziemlich an eine krachige/einfachere Version der Ramones, auch mit star­kem California/Beach-Einfluß, gut). Insgesamt einer der wenigen Sampler, die mir wirklich rundum gut gefallen. Haben.
