“Pop Goes The Weasel” - the essential collection of power-pop gems by Stiv Bators! LP includes a booklet with extensive notes by band member Frank Secich and rare photos.
 
After the Dead Boys, American punk legend Stiv Bators embarked on a musical journey that saw him touch upon power pop during a brief solo career.
 
Following our recent reissue of Bators’ classic album “Disconnected”, this compilation of rarities comprises alternative takes, b-sides and live recordings from this era when his music was more similar to 60's power pop than the vicious punk rock that Bators became known for originally.
 
We are thrilled to release this essential collection of power-pop gems as part of a series of releases celebrating Bomp! 50th anniversary. It includes a booklet with extensive notes by band member Frank Secich and rare photos.
