The Smithereens Attack of The Smithereens (1995)
Originally Released November 21, 1995\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: At first glance, a Smithereens rarities compilation might seem like an odd release. After all, the band was never had more than one gold album and none of their singles cracked the Top 30. That doesn't mean the band didn't have fans, however, nor does it mean that their music was undistinctive, as Attack of the Smithereens proves. Filled with B-sides, demos, rare singles, and live tracks, the collection has a loose charm and freewheeling energy their proper albums occasionally lacked. Much of this material is as good as anything the group released, making it a necessary purchase for most fans. Even casual fans will find something to cherish on Attack of the Smithereens. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nFor Hardcore fans only., August 7, 1999\nReviewer: A music fan\nIf you're a big fan of the Smithereens, this one is great. It has outtakes and rarieties and live songs and B-sides and almost all of them are great. It also has alternative versions "Blood and Roses" and "Yesterday Girl". This has great unreleased songs like "Shakin' All Over" and "Lust for Life". Not one dull moment on here. However, if you're a casual fan, you might want to get the others first.\n\nHalf.com Details \nContributing artists: Beau Brummels, Graham Parker, Joe Franklin, Kinks (The), Otis Blackwell, Ray Anderson \n\nAlbum Notes\nATTACK OF THE SMITHEREENS assembles b-sides, compilation tracks, live performances, demo versions, and various other previously unreleased material.\nThe Smithereens: Pat DiNizio (vocals, guitar); Jim Babjak (vocals, guitar, drums); Mike Mesaros (vocals, bass); Dennis Diken (vocals, drums).\n\nAdditional personnel includes: Graham Parker (vocals); Tone Hamilton (guitar); Ray Anderson (trombone); Kenny Margolis (piano, electric piano); The Beau Brummels; Joe Franklin; The Kinks; Otis Blackwell; Smith College Women's Choir (background vocals).\n\nProducers include: The Smithereens, Andy Shernoff, Ed Stasium.\n\nCompilation producer: Cheryl Pawelski.\n\nEngineers include: Jim T.
