Full review
Yet another greatest hits package from the now defunct rockers, but isn’t this just one release too far? Let’s consider the evidence:

PROS:

- it was only £3.99 in HMV’s clearance sale (the only time it’s worth shopping in these corporate monsters).
- it is a great collection of great songs, 16 of them stretching over 73 minutes

CONS:

- it’s at least the fourth such greatest hits/rarities package: “Their Finest Hour (And A Half)” (1995), “Live” (1998), and “The Rare, The Raw And The Rest (1999).
- there are only the most basic of liner notes, giving author and year of each song.
- there are only five non-album tracks featured: live versions of “Brown Sugar” and “All The Way From Memphis”, acoustic versions of “Higher Ground” and “Dirty Love”, and a live acoustic version of “I Hear you Knocking”.

Probably a relative bargain at the price, but only a diehard fan would need to own all four of these collections. Very enjoyable to listen to, but enough already! At least until the reunion, which can’t be far away.
