Review by Evolver
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Crossover & JR/F/Canterbury Teams

Surprisingly, back in the early days of Compact Disks, this collection by The Nice was available before you could find any CDs by most of the better known, and more popular progressive artists. I suppose that was because smallindepentent labels like this could scarf up the rights to the lesser known artists, and make a quick buck.

Well, despite some typos on the cover (listed here as is - Angel Of Death is really Azrael Revisited), this one does manage to capture the essence of The Nice. The psychedelic first album, the prot-ELP classical covers, Lee Jackson's great... errr, grating voice. And the sound quality, for an early CD, is not bad.
