Synopsis

Product Description
The title comes from a 1980 concert: the infamous Eddie of EDDIE & THE SUBTITLES asked, "Anyone want to hear 'Louie Louie'?" and the singular response came back loud and clear: "FUCK YOU EDDIE!" And so 28 years later that witty comeback graduated from the title of EDDIE & THE SUBTITLES' debut 45 to the new Frontier Records compilation LP featuring both sides of the aforementioned 45, the cr¸me of their their LPs Skeletons in the Closet and Dead Drunks Don't Dance as well as several unreleased demos. EDDIE & THE SUBTITLES had a critical role in creating the Orange County punk scene, at their heyday all the lands south of Los Angeles were even known as "The Eddie Empire." The tracks on Fuck You Eddie! are at once sloppy, fast, fun and profound in their own way. No punk rock collection is worth a damn without it!

CD Reviews

Five stars for ONE song, American Society; a minus-one for t
Shlomo Sinatra | Alaska | 02/17/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Okay, anybody buying this is surely familiar with the classic American Society, which the original single is worth a ton.

Or was, as it's on here, so who needs the original pressing?

A classic refusal to go along with and be part of the miserable society in which we live in, still horrendous today, is it better than in 1980? HA HA! Better?! Worse, WAAAAAAAAAYYY worse.

Which is one reason the song still holds up. It says it better than maybe any other song, heartfelt and to-the-point.



But if you're looking for ANY other song on here to be good, or even decent, a whole ALBUM of songs as good as, or even nearly as good as American Society, FORGET IT.



The second version of it here? The sped-up one where Eddie sings? Worthless.

The original single version is still the one, forget L7's version, a fine cover but the original can't be beat.



But you may be better off buying the one song as a download and skip the rest, it's TRASH.

Four stars may be generous but "American Society" is in a class of itself."

"Flashback to the early '80s. Worth purchasing if only for the liner notes! (If you're just discovering the likes of Social Distortion and the Adolescents, you'll learn a lot from the liner notes. Trust me.)"
