Chinese Telephones have exactly twenty-eight recorded songs in existence - twelve from their s/t album and sixteen from the singles and splits that make up Democracy. I know I am not alone in feeling like they have had a much larger impact on the past seven years of punk rock than a mere twenty-eight songs could achieve. Actually, if you don't count re-recordings of previously released songs, they only have twenty-four songs out there in the world! I think that speaks so highly to the greatness of their music. Sometimes the best bands make up for what they lack in quantity with undeniable quality. Chinese Telephones are a rare breed of band - they don't come along often so you better keep up with them while you can. This collection will serve as a great opportunity to do just that.
