Advantages: A diverse musical choice, the good, the bad & the ugly.
Disadvantages: No Damned, Costello or Dury! Oh, the humanity!

...that are minor classics in their own right but ones that the record buying British public in their wisdom didn't rate highly enough to buy. In this category, a special mention must be made of Wreckless Eric, His 'Whole Wide World' stands out here like a sore thumb. This is a real little gem that the whole world (ahem) should know.

...Well I thought Id mention how I find the album track by track and mention the good and bad points for people out there:) 1.: I Walk Alone - Saliva - Batista - We kick off with a great tune.

I didnt rate it to start with but ie got used... Read review
