AMG Review of The Best of Missing Persons
Johnny Loftus
All Music Guide`The Best of Missing Persons was the band's first retrospective, and unlike the later, single-oriented comps, it draws a broader picture of the Los Angeles /p>

Nevertheless, it was as much a part of Missing Persons' sound as were the prominent keyboards and bopping guitar lines, and all three elements are alive and well on Best of Missing Persons. Get out the sparkly eye shadow and interplanetary plastic brassieres.

At the time, we shared possession of a 1969 VW panel van (see pic). The "VW" emblem had fallen off the front long ago and any sign it had ever been attached to the dark metallc blue finish had log faded...so when curious admirers asked what kind of van it was,

Missing Persons! Dale and Terry Bozzio. I view Gwen Stefani as the Dale Bozzio of today...just a little. And Terry B has got to be one of the most ridiculous drummers ever. I remember listening to him on Zappa records, then my friend told me I had to listen to Missing Persons...this was years and years ago, but I fell in love with their sound. Synth bass...sooo new wave! They were also re...
