"The album listed here is NOT "The Punk Singles Collection"! That album was released in the '90s on Clay records and was not remastered. The six bonus tracks here were on that release. This album is titled "City Baby Attacked By Rats". The album cover, song listing, and Amazon review shown here are correct, however, and it is remastered. If you're curious about the "Singles Collection", don't bother. All of those singles have been tacked onto the remastered re-releases of GBH's early albums, including this one. "Leather, Bristles, Studs and Acne", "City Baby Attacked By Rats", and "City Baby's Revenge" contain ALL their early work, singles and all. Anyway, this is easily their best album! (2-22-07)Whaddya know, they fixed the title!!!"

"Great punk bands best L.P. Leather, Bristles, Studs and Acne is unbelievable also. If you like metal, check these two out since they were a big influence on early speed metal bands."
This Record Deserves More Than 2 Reviews

"I think this is possibly the most important punk record of what I guess I'd call the UK '82 punk movement.
You can call it the 2nd English punk scene too.
The whole thing about this was that no punk record before it was engineered to sound so CLEAN and a great sounding recording. The new UK punk movement had much better sounding records. That is what (to me) this record is known for.
FSR Studios in Birmingham. I can remember off hand because the recording quality blew me away.
Oh Yea~ I wore out my vinyl copy to the bone.
The follow up LP was such a piece of crap in sound.
This is The God!!!!
