MIKE & THE MECHANICS "Hits" - Relatively cheap to purchase these days ... I wouldn't pay anymore than £6.99
I am just listening to it as I write this ... very beneficial!
This album is a collection of the bands hits from 1985 through to 1996 and includes songs that the band have experienced great success with in various regions of the world over an eleven year span.
The album sleeve is fairly basic, with a cartoon design of a mechanic slumped asleep upon a tyre, resting upon his tool box in front of a gas filling pump. The inner sleeve is a 6-page booklet of photographs, along with a list of the tracks and information regarding the year they were produced and whom they were written by.
When Phil Collins opted for a solo career in 1985, Genesis bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford decided to form his own pop/rock band "Mike ...
Mike Jones is a Houston-based rapper. He specializes in this the H-town style of rap which also involves 'Screwed and Chopped' in this style, the music is cut and jerked about, or at least it sounds like this to create an original sound. This style slows down the tracks and this album was brought out later with a second disc using the same tracks that are screwed and chopped.

However, the fact it itself was on offer helped.
The bottle itself is the usual 275ml one, with clear glass, and black and yellow labels, with the design of a lemon silhouette on. Also, each label has a stupid slogan on - "Grab life by the lemons", "Make it Mike's", "Tastes kinda like homemade lemonade with vodka" - some clearly snappier than others.
