2 stars Well I thoroughly enjoyed their sole studio album so I thought i'd check out this complialation album of unreleased and live tracks. I guess I was hoping for something as good as what OUT OF FOCUS released posthumously, but this isn't even close. Sadly the sound quality for most of these tracks is poor at best.The vocals are often just as bad as the sound quality.To be honest these songs were never mean't to be released and it shows.

The final three live tunes are the best of the lot. My favourite thing about this album is the bass work. It's very prominant and fat.The organ is ever-present and the guitar can be outstanding.The song "Knocker" is my favourite of the non-live tracks. I love when they jam on this one.

At over 79 minutes this was a tough one to get through. Fans or collectors might be interested, others would do well to take a pass and check out their studio album.
