Review by Subtropix Aug 29, 2008

It's taken me 15 years to collect the entire catalogue from Ripper records. This is the complete record of all they produced. It's attainable, it's achieveable and it's totally satisfying. Oh, there are some sleeve variations out there. But as far as contribution to the "kiwi sound" goes. Ripper Records would have to rate, right up there with Flying Nun. I'll treasure my collection, to my dying breath and convert as many people as I possibly can to this fantastic group of releases.
