Englishman Peter Perrett will forever be remembered as the scraggly blonde junkie who launched a thousand punk-rock cover bands with his spacey, riff-rocking paean "Another Girl, Another Planet." There's more to the oft- brilliant Special View (a condensation of their first two British releases) than just that tasty nugget, though. The band crashes power-pop hooks into guitar muscle on "City of Fun" and "Lovers of Today" as well; and Perrett doles each one out in his perfectly deadpan voice. Fans of mop tops like the Plimsouls, the Neighborhoods, and the Replacements (who nicked "Another Girl" as well as other licks from Perrett) will find little not to enjoy here. --Michael Ruby
