This brilliant retrospective captures a confident, self-assured band recorded during those halcyon years of ’83 – ’86, and proves that Australia’s Stems were indeed an extremely varied animal. Brimming with gorgeous pop melodies alongside great garage riffs and backbeats, this collection effectively showcases their versatility from the Fuzztone hits “She’s a Monster” and “Tears Me In Two,” to the bluesy garage bop of “On and On,” Byrdsian jangle of “Love Will Grow,” the pure pop of “Can’t Forget that Girl” and the psychedelic snarl of “Jumping to Conclusions.” - gethip

Anyone who doesn't have the Stems needs to get this. "Make You Mine" is a monster anthem that will be a revelation to anyone who hasn't heard them before.
I absolutely agree with Edward. What an outstanding group! Many thanks to gyro and ryp!
