Advantages: A little bit of Housemartins
Disadvantages: Regurgitated Beautiful South

This greatest hits collection contains the condensed Housemartins (only seven tracks) and the cream of Beautiful South (the remaining 15 songs). From the HMs you ...
...love", while from the BS hits such as "Rotterdam", "Don't marry her" and "Perfect 10". (All but "I'll sail this ship alone", "36D", "Prettiest eyes" and "Just a few things I ain't" were on the "Solid bronze" collection, I have to point out). After seeing Heaton I actually sat down and read his lyrics. Thus I had forgotten the rude word in "Don't marry her" that lifts it above a soppy love song or that Heaton himself had drink problems, which probably ...
