This collection of Rocket From The Crypt's singles, issued for the first time on CD, captures the band in both of its incarnations direct, no-nonsense punk maestros ("Live the Funk" and "Jumper K. Balls") and playful mood-swingers ("Lefty" and "Chantilly Lace"). But "All Systems Go" makes its best excuse with "Pigeon Eater" and "The Paste That You Love," by far Rocket's best songs, released together as a Merge 45 in early 1994.
