AMG Review of Best of Bow Wow Wow [RCA]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

The Best of Bow Wow Wow is a thorough overview of Malcolm McLaren's manufactured new wave pop group, featuring all the highlights of the group's albums and EPs -- including, of course, "I Want Candy," but also "Go Wild in the Country," "W.O.R.K." and "Do You Want to Hold Me" -- as well as the previously unreleased "Where's My Snake." Since the group didn't make consistent albums, The Best of Bow Wow Wow is the best way to listen to the band, since it features every one of their worthwhile tracks, plus good liner notes.
