Featuring hit singles and deep cuts from some of the era's biggest names are joined by rare tracks, cult classics and fascinating obscurities. Kids On The Street is a four-hour smorgasbord of top pop tunes from the British power pop and new wave scenes of the late Seventies\/early Eighties as the punk revolution evolved into a more radio-friendly sound. Hit singles from some of the era's most vital acts (The Stranglers, Pretenders, The Ruts, The Teardrop Explodes, Elvis Costello) are joined by key cuts from seminal albums by the likes of The Jam, Squeeze and XTC. The mod revival is represented by such names as Squire, The Circles, Smart Alec and pre- Direct Hits band The Exits, power pop royalty includes The Records, The Pleasers and The Jags, while there are cult favorites from The Soft Boys, The Distractions, Radio Stars and many others. Joining the boys about town and kids on the street are pub rock veterans The Motors (with John Peel's favorite track of 1977), former Bonzos man Neil Innes' Beatles spoof The Rutles, Slade spin-off Dummies and beat boom veterans The Searchers, enjoying a new lease of life as the new wave of power pop bands updated their pioneering 60s sound. Housed in a stylish clamshell box, and featuring a booklet that includes notes on each individual track, Kids On The Street is a riveting reminder of a sound that dominated the British pop scene for a brief but highly creative period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKids on the Street - the Stiffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Babylon's Burning (Single Version) - the Ruts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bloodline - Bram Tchaikovsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Come on Stupid - the Flys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Smash It Up - the Damned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Weekend - the Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Time to Kill - Clive Culbertson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Towers of London (Album Version) - XTC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This Time - the Wasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Don't Think So - the Smirks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Diamond Smiles - the Boomtown Rats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Own Way - Shake Appeal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tonight Tonight - Speed-O-Metors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Accidents Will Happen - Elvis Costello and the Attractions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Motorbike Beat - the Revillos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gina - Salford Jets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I-Spy - Rudi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Duchess - the Stranglers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Yesterday's Love - Any Trouble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oh Girl - the Freshies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Life on the Line - Eddie and the Hot Rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She Doesn't Love Me - Cramp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Talk of the Town - Pretenders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nervous Wreck - Radio Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Doubleback Alley - the Rutles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Boy About Town - the Jam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Am a Case - the Reaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Need Somebody to Love - the V.I.P.'s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sound of Confusion - Secret Affair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tomorrow - Sta-Prest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Circles - the Circles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Woman's World - the Jags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Head in the Clouds - Ada Wilson and Keeping Dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Way Love - the Innocents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Waiting for the Weekend (Single Version) - the Vapors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Another Girl - the Vandells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sometimes Good Guys Don't Follow Trends - the Teenage Filmstars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend - Squire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Girl in a Picture - the Exits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Sound of the Suburbs (Single Version) - the Members\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Friday Night - the Kraze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Leave You to Dream - the Distractions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Baby Baby - the Vibrators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Beat Drill - the Steppes (Aka the Fifty Fantastics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hung on You - Rich Kids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Neighbourhood Girls - the Barracudas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Take It - the Quads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Vicky Verky - Squeeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Beer Baccy Bingo and Benidorm (Album Version) - Inner City Unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Scooter Boys - Smart Alec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Don't Know - the Pleasers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love's Melody (Single Version) - the Searchers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dancing the Night Away (Album Version) - the Motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Wanna Destroy You - the Soft Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Silicon Carne - the Monochrome Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Step on the Cracks - Wah!
