The For nearly a decade Brisbane group The Standing 8 Counts assaulted audiences with their unparallelled brand of wall-of-sound rock'n'roll.

Not accustomed to doing anything by halves, this Greatest Hits release is both their debut and their swan song.

"On a good night The 8 Counts created a shit-storm of noise and on a great night they built a sonic vacuum to overshadow even Phil Spector.
With a multiple guitar attack and shimmering backbeat that hit your loins with waves of rock'n'roll lust, they were the reckless abandon before us that we dreamed of in our own lives.
At the center of it all was a soothsayer front-man that hypnotized your girlfriend, made you spill your drinks and left you forgetting there was a even a world outside of the room.
They were the perfect balance of love, hate and sex through sonic volume and that's everything I ever imagined in rock'n'roll."

Alex Gillies (Music Director Triple Zfm Radio 97-02, Time Off Magazine 03-05)

The Greatest Hits is a value-packed with all studio recordings including songs from all stages of their 8 year "career".

From lysergic, lurching 9 minute guitar meltdowns to under-a-minute blasts of sound and fury, there really is something for everyone on this 72 minute platter.

Includes biographical notes, photos and odd facts to amaze your friends.
