Compilation CD RCA Records 1996
"Bow Wow Wow may have been easily dismissed by some as rock entrepreneur Malcolm McLaren's creation, but the band deserved better. Combining musicians lured away from Adam and the Ants (with whom McLaren had briefly worked) and fifteen-year-old singer Annabella Lwin, the ever-provocative McLaren formed the band, launching their career via a 45, C-30, C-60, C-90 Go, which espoused the virtues of home taping at a time when the band's record company (and virtually all others) were beginning to bitterly oppose it".
(Scott Isler / Ira Robbins, Trouser Press)
"The Best of Bow Wow Wow is a thorough overview of Malcolm McLaren's manufactured new wave pop group, featuring all the highlights of the group's albums and EPs - including, of course, I Want Candy, but also Go Wild in the Country, W.O.R.K. and Do You Want to Hold Me - as well as the previously unreleased Where's My Snake. Since the group didn't make consistent albums, The Best of Bow Wow Wow is the best way to listen to the band, since it features every one of their worthwhile tracks, plus good liner notes".

Yea if it wasn't for McLaren this fine band would never have existed. RIP Malcolm.
Everytime I hear Bow Wow Wow, it is much better than I thought it was.
Jungle sound.
Thanks Jay
I saw them live very early on a US tour, at the relatively small Toad's Place club in New Haven, CT. Absolutely amazing. I've seen thousands of concerts from the late '70s to today, and they are still in my top ten. Saw them a year later open for the Police in an area and it was horrendous.
The entirety of their first album is worth having: "See Jungle See Jungle Go Join Your Gang Yeah City All Over Go Ape Crazy."
I would like to have many things of read the music, I love this kind of music, I have many similar albums of punk!
