LP (12"/10" Album)
Label: SCREAMING APPLE

Barcode: 4260038372173
Catalog no.: SCALP0000217
Item ID: 462663
'Big Hits (Plus Twelve More!)' finds the Decibels channeling their own brand of guitar pop (elements of The Beat, The Romantics, The Plimsouls, the mod-era Who with a pinch of the Jam, but squeezed through their own filter that gives them their own sound) with 13 tracks cultivated from the occasional cover tunes they'd pepper their blistering live set with throughout their history. Armed with impeccable taste, on 'Big Hits! (Plus Twelve More!)' they power through tunes from The Saints, The Nerves, Status Quo, The Long Ryders, The Flamin' Groovies, The Creation, 20/20, obscure 80's bands The Wombats and The New Breed, and they throw tunes by Goffin/King, Lennon/McCartney, and Pete Townshend in the mix for good measure, and then wrap it up with a New Kids on the Block (!) tune!
