The Best Of . . .

Bow Wow Wow, “The Best Of . . .” (RCA, 1996; original recordings early 1980s)
Malcolm McLaren’s second subversive pop experiment after the collapse of the Sex Pistols mixed punk, glam-rock, Afro-pop and art-noise with the lovely vocals of Annabella for a unique new-wave pop concoction that actually rocks too. Captures the first excitement of the postwar world collapsing into “globalization” when that looked like a coming revolution of fun rather than the dot-com shithole it’s turned out to be.
