Description: | Eine Zusammenstellung aller Veröffentlichung der Comets.
Nach einer letzten Single auf Orange, "Big Business Jokes" b/w "Help Me", im Jahr 1983, blieb
die Geschichte der Comets fast 40 Jahre lang unvollendet. Unvollendet, bis jetzt. Mit dieser Platte,
welche alle offiziellen Veröffentlichungen der Gruppe zusammen mit vielen unveröffentlichten
Aufnahmen an einem Ort versammelt, von denen viele zum ersten Mal seit der Invasion von
Grenada zu hören sind, zeigen die Comets, was sie selbst immer wussten - sie waren mindestens
eine halbe Länge voraus. Mich Shields: "Wie der Name, so kamen und gingen auch die Comets
im GroÃ?en und Ganzen recht schnell. Eine lebendige Vision, von vielen als "schnell, frisch,
elektrisch und laut" bezeichnet, die in einem flüchtigen Moment am fernen Himmel ihre Spuren
hinterlässt. - Of all the subcultural spores dispersed by the shockwave of Punk, the odds for a Brit-Pop, Jam-style Mod Revival sound germinating in a land-locked city in central Florida had to be tremendously slim. However, despite this low probability, the lack of tube stations at midnight and/or Eton rifles, or any type of local supporting scene or infrastructure, life finds a way. It also didn't hurt that Comets guitarist and lead vocalist and songwriter, Mich Shields, was himself actually Anglo and not just an Anglophile and thus did not have to fake his English accent.Of all the subcultural spores dispersed by the shockwave of Punk, the odds for a Brit-Pop, Jam-style Mod Revival sound germinating in a land-locked city in central Florida had to be tremendously slim.
