reviews:

Of course, any in-the-know type person will already own the collected works of the artists represented on this comp, but, if pray-tell you don't, "Wailing Ultimate" is a more than adequate introduction to the likes of Naked Raygun, Big Black, Volcano Suns, Breaking Circus, Death of Samantha and lots more. No unreleased songs pop up, although 7" b sides and cassette only tracks pop up. Even the bands I've never been keen on (Antietam, Great Plains, Big Dipper, Salem 66) make decent showings. A solid collection of tunes.
