This is the new compilation double CD by legendary Irish rock band The Boomtown Rats which I am reviewing the double CD as there is also an vinyl one as well and on the double CD it has the recordings of the classic hits the band made in the 70's and 80's including I Don't Like Mondays, Banana Republic, Rat Trap and She's So Modern as well as songs from the 2020 album Citizens of Boomtown and many others. It is FANTASTIC with FANTASTIC and BRILLIANT songs which has stood the test of time and still sounding great today as it did back then as great music endures after all these years and Bob Gedolf and Pete Briquette were the compilation producers. This is dedicated to the memory of member Garry Roberts who passed away in 2022 and they did an UK tour last year celebrating 50 years. This is a must for fans of the Boomtown Rats and I give it 4 stars as it's in the shops now so do yourselves a favour and BUY IT which you will be impressed and amazed.
