The infamous late 70's punk/new wave/power pop (they kept changing their mind on what it was...) compilation 'Lethal Weapons' was a tentative major label funded foray into the emergent punk movement. It was short lived and much maligned, but was an important release in that it contains the earliest recordings of, amongst others : The Boys Next Door (Nick Cave / Birthday Party), Teenage Radio Stars (Sean Kelly / Models, James Freud / James Freud & the Radio Stars) and The Negatives (Sacred Cowboys).  Most of the bands would not last out the 1970's, but, with so many of the individuals involved going on to significant careers, this album represents a fascinating glimpse into their beginnings. Deluxe 6 panel Digipak, remastered from the original tapes, liner notes by Ian McFarlane and a revealing essay on the origins (and demise) of the Suicide label by Glenn Terry. There are 2 bonus tracks : the Teenage Radio Stars' non-LP B-side â'Sweet Boredom' and the Teenage Radio Stars' film clip for 'I Wanna Be Ya Baby'
