![]() ![]() Better yet, pick up one of the band's old live records like Blow Your Face Out or even Full House (both feature material from the band's superior Atlantic releases). For a more thorough appreciation, invest in the much superior Rhino collection Houseparty: Anthology. As far as compilation records go, this one's the weakest of all the J. Geils Band / ST-17174 - release 1985 year from the label EMI America - made in US - Black Vinyl. Wisely, the label chose to completely shun the band's god-awful post- Peter Wolf release You're Getting Even While I'm Getting I'm Getting Odd. It sure would have been nice to hear the live version of "Love Stinks" from Showtime (which is introduced by Wolf's now legendary, "Adam and Eve were smoking weed in the Garden of Eden" rap) or perhaps some other un-released live gems from the band's Freeze Frame tour - their biggest outing ever. Glancing over the track listing, it's obvious that EMI spent next to no time putting together this compilation and decided to issue it as some sort of contractual obligation (even though Peter Wolf would continue to release solo records for the label in years to come) or perhaps as a forgone catalog piece. Geils Band "deep" cuts like "Flamethrower" and the terrific "Just Can't Wait." Incomprehensibly, other essentials like "Sanctuary," "Teresa," "Just Can't Stop Me," "Nightime," and even the hilarious "Piss on the Wall" (not so essential) are nowhere to be found.
