Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: What the fuck is this all about? Disc one draws from singles, albums and Peel Sessions to produce a kind of alternative complete anthology, presenting what T.V. Smith considers to be the "best" versions of each song. Despite nice packaging, sheer exploitation, really.

Additional Notes

Disc two is called "NOT Live At The Roxy".
