The Stems "Terminal Cool" Compilation (1983-1986) ed. 2005

Terminal Cool is an anthology album from alternative rock group, The Stems, released in Australia on 26 June 2005 and in the United States on 6 December that year. It is a collection of the band's recordings between 1983 and 1985. It includes four tracks: "Terminal Cool", "Sad Girl" (a demo version) and "Spaceship", which were not included on a previous compilation album, Mushroom Soup: The Citadel Years (March 2003), although it omits "Power of Love". - wikiThis 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.” - gethiptrax:

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.
