As a third album, one of the most original British bands of late decided to release a mixture of B-sides, unreleased tracks and radio sessions. As a friend of mine said to me "so, sort of like a bootleg then?"...Thankfully, the album is better than that.
Whilst not rivalling the consistency of Gomez's two other "proper" albums, as a collection this CD stands up very well on its own. There are some truly fantastic songs which really deserved a more high-profile release. The bluesy Bring Your Lovin' Back Here, the terrific Flavors and the gorgeous Buena Vista, to name a few. The radio sessions are also worthwhile - the alternative versions of 78 Stone Wobble (78 Stone Shuffle) and We Haven't Turned Around (X-Ray Version on the LP) show how well the results can be if the band change things around. Of course, such a long collection (15 tracks) doesn't come without some "throwaways", like the silly Cowboy Song or Emergency Surgery. But even the most cynical listeners should find enough great songs on this album to warrant a purchase.
If you're after the best Gomez album, don't get this - buy Bring It On. However, if you're already a fan, this is well worth checking out.
