Review

True West broke up in 1987; West Side Story is a posthumous patchwork of previously unreleased studio efforts and medium-fi live performances, including fiery run-throughs of "Hollywood Holiday" and the Stooges' "1969." While there are a few finds ("Free Men Own Guns") among the outtakes, the generally disappointing material and inadequate sound quality make this a meager career appendix.
