''Blow Monkeys The Masters'' is a compilation album from British new wave band The Blow Monkeys, released in 1997 by the Eagle label, for its well known "Eagle Series", presenting many UK group's master collections. The second greatest hits album, following ''Choices - The Singles Collection'', it was released in 1989, and contained all their most popular singles (including all four singles taken from the band's best-selling album, ''She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter'', which also featured their best-selling single, the UK #5 hit "It Doesn't Have to Be This Way", and "Wicked Ways", and The Blow Monkeys' first hit single, "Digging Your Scene"). Also on the album is the three most popular singles from their debut album, ''Limping for a Generation'', the two previously unreleased tracks on the previous collection, that is the duets with Sylvia Tella (the big hit "Choice?" and the minor hit "Slaves No More"), and the last single released by the band before they split up, "La Passionara". On ''Blow Monkeys The Masters'' was the hard to find cover version of "Superfly" by Curtis Mayfield, whom vocalist and leader Dr. Robert has always pointed to as his main musical inspiration. The song was originally a B-side of the 1986 single, "Don't Be Scared of Me". From their 1988 album ''Whoops! There Goes the Neighbourhood'' was the only two songs here which never appeared in single format, "No Woman Is An Island" and "Squaresville". The album did not feature the second best-charting single from the band, "Wait", which got to #7 in early 1989. ==Track listing== # "Digging Your Scene" (from ''Animal Magic'', 1986) # "Wicked Ways" (from ''Animal Magic'', 1986) # "It Doesn't Have to Be This Way" (from ''She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter'', 1987) # "Out with Her" (from ''She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter'', 1987) # "Celebrate (The Day After You)" (with Curtis Mayfield) (from ''She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter'', 1987) # "Some Kind of Wonderful" (from ''She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter'', 1987) # "This Is Your Life" (1989, from ''Whoops!
