This and their self-titled debut are essential:
Essential because there are loads of good original songs that I don't think are on any other Kids releases, including "Shake Outta Control," "All Night Boppin," "She Don't Take It," and the list goes on. The title track is a relatively obscure early Stones tune. The cream of the crop is tracks 19-24, which are from 1976 (the same year Boston debuted and Aerosmith was at its peak, but the Real Kids are sure up to the "competition"), before they had an album out, and the early Damned-like speed and energy are pretty contagious. They even have the Ted Nugent rhythm guitar sound blaring in "All Kinds of Girls"! Sound quality is fine except for two tracks from CBGB, but that's OK. Finally, I like the way the Kids jump into a song IMMEDIATELY after being introduced by an MC. Way cool timing!
Real Kids recorded LIVE:
Make this your first Real Kids Purchase! This is good stuff. Recorded in a couple live venues and a live radio station appearance. The real kids are quite tight and fast. The recording quality is good, though mono. Probably taken right off the sound board. Worth having... I like these live songs way better than the studio versions.
Best Live Real Kids CD:
This CD provides an excellent overview of the Real Kids live performances in the '70s. They are captured live in a college radio station, at CBGBs, at Boston's Rathskeller, etc. Raw, passionate and full of the kind of driving, primitive garage rock that most others bands can only dream of producing. Other than their classic first album, THIS is the Real Kids CD to own.
