Wild In The U.S.A.
''Wild in the U.S.A.'' is a compilation album by English new wave band Bow Wow Wow, released solely on compact disc in 1998 by Cleopatra Records. ''Wild in the U.S.A.'' is a 20-track compilation. The first six tracks are remixes of their greatest hits, and the last 14 tracks are from a U.S. tour that began in December 1997, and ended in March 1998. Two shows were used for this collection: the January 10, 1998 show at the Bluebird Theater in Denver, Colorado, and the March 7, 1998 show at the Drama Club in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Reception The album was largely panned by critics. ''AllMusic'' critic Simon Cantlon said, "While the remixes work, the live songs drag this album down, making it of interest only for serious fans". Cleopatra also drew criticism for the seemingly haphazard way the CD was thrown together. Tracks one and six (both remixes of "I Want Candy") are reversed in the track listing on the back of the CD, but are correctly listed on the sleeve. "Louis Quatorze" is re ...

The band embarked on a six-month audition process for a lead singer. Talent scout Dave Fishel heard 13-year-old Lwin singing along to the radio at a West Hampstead dry cleaners wh ...
