Toss away NIRVANA! Nirvana is for babies. Sage and his Wipers were (are?) the best. Enough said. Listen to these raging guitars. Nowhere matched!

If you must only have a snapshot of this incredible band, than a "best of" will do. Criminally, most of their crucial songs didn't even make the cut. Tragically under-represented is the MIND-BLOWING "Over the Edge" album, as well as the "Youth of America" EP. That's not to mention that "Is This Real" ain't even included (rights weren't held by Restless). All bitching aside, this is a taste of one of THE BEST bands of the late 70's and 80's (yah, yah, I know Sage is still around). FIND AND BUY ALL REISSUES. THEY ARE NOW AVAILABLE ON "GIFT OF LIFE" RECORDS.

Although I consider myself rather knowledgeable about music, the music of Greg Sage was a very recent discovery. All the songs on this collection prove worthy of many playbacks. Actually, I find it quite baffling that this band did not get more recognition, for it certainly deserved much critical praise. This is guitar driven music that definitely influenced bands such as Nirvana. I highly recommend this album. I only wish that I knew of them sooner.
