Shake It Up: American Power Pop II (1978-80)

hasn't done a Powerpop boxset on the order of No Thanks!, or

Nuggets? A box that would cover the early years from the time

A few songs worth having on CD.

Fair compilation, not as good as a lot of other Power Pop discs

It is worth buying for The Cryers, The Rubinoos, 20/20, The Shoes, Chris Stamey and the dBs early single, the Plimsouls - Zero Hour is great, and who wouldn't want Holly and the Italians - Tell That Girl to Shut Up. If you already have most of these songs from your other records don't bother buying this one since the rest here are easily forgettable.

I would get Lost Weekend: A Celebration of Australia instead.
