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

This album has a misleading title. It is not a truly representative, or essential collection. It contains songs from only two Peter Hammill albums, Enter K and Patience. And at sixty four minutes, it covers about two thirds of those albums. That doesn't make this a bad compilations. Those two albums are both strong albums from Hammill. His songwriting at that point was at a peak, both lyrically and compositionally.

So while I would not recommend this collection over the individual albums (if you could still find this album anywhere), on it's own it's still a good listening album.

A solid four stars.
