Review from Rhythm Online.

The Disco Students: I Beg to Differ double CD
Review by Chris Marling

Seems I get a release from this lot every other week, but they’re fun so hey ho. This time out it’s a collection of old and new, rare and not so rare releases from their somewhat low key career. Apparently inspired by the Clash and the Pistols back in 1976, they somehow managed to become a largely twee indie band with more nods to Morrissey and The Television Personalities than Sid and Strummer. But don’t let that put you off – if you have a love for the Sarah Records end of the market, these guys are top notch. For the collector, you get all the early 70s vinyl releases, ten unreleased tracks and some more recent stuff, including three new songs, as well as a song by their former band, The Haircuts. For the novice, you get introduced to a band who made the late 80s indie sound their own.
