Although this compilation was delayed by years of contractual disputes, Stiff, Stiffer, Stiffest contains 22 excellent reasons to be cheerful. In 1976, at a total cost of £45, Nick Lowe's "Heart Of The City" launched Stiff Records. The label soon entered into legend and remains one of the most influential record labels ever. Unfortunately, some of their greatest hits--songs by The Damned, Elvis Costello and Madness--are missing from this compilation, but there's still a fine litany of names: Nick Lowe, Tenpole Tudor, Kirsty MacColl, etc. Besides the enduring talents of Lowe, Costello and Dury (all on that awesome first Stiff tour), it was the mavericks who made Stiff so special--Jona Lewie's "Stop The Cavalry"; Wreckless Eric's "Whole Wide World"; Lene Lovich's "Lucky Number"; and Tenpole Tudor's "Swords Of A Thousand Men" are all collected here. Twenty-five years on, Stiff still delivers pure pop for now people. --Patrick Humphries

この作品の続編として、“If It Ain't Stiff...”という編集盤も出ているが、それも聴いてみたけどまだまだスティッフについて知りたい、いろいろ聴いてみたいという貪欲な人には、ヴィニール・ジャパンから出ているCD2枚組、“Another Bunch Of Stiffs From Nishi-Shinjuku 747”という編集盤を薦める。
5つ星のうち5.0as a sampler of the artists this is perfect.

One of the labels during the heyday of the New Wave scene, every major artist is included here who recorded and released with Stiff....as a sampler of the artists this is perfect.
