AMG Review of Playlist: The Very Best of Bow Wow Wow

James Christopher Monger
All Music Guide

Part of Legacy's Playlist series that boasts "the life-changing songs, the out-of-print tracks, the hits, the fan favorites everyone loves, and the songs that make the artists who they are", Playlist: The Very Best of Bow Wow Wow collects 14 cuts from the post-Malcolm McLaren-makeover version of colorful English new wavers Bow Wow Wow including their three big hits, "Wild in the Country," "I Want Candy," and "Baby, Oh No." While it's not nearly as comprehensive of an overview as 1996's 22-track Best of Bow Wow Wow, it's certainly an easier and more enjoyable listen.
