Comments:
(A copy of the original was also issued on Chance Records (a subsidary of
Red Robin). The cover is the same as the Tone version, but there is no
mention of a catalogue number anywhere).
Collection of rarities and b-sides. About half the tracks are live. It
seems that there are 2 pressings of this CD, the later one has the label
printed on the front cover. I don't know if there is any difference in the
quality of the 2, and I assume that the track listing is the same.
Quality:
Great sound throughout - _Live! Music Review_ (June)
Sound isn't as good as some boots, but the material is good. Some
of the live stuff sounds muffled - Kristin Archick

Excellent material & sound, and one of the best boots I've heard
(9/10). I've compared a number of these tracks with the original
vinyl & CDs and the treble lacks a little 'brightness', like when
recording with Dolby. Also, there is occasional tape drop-out
(most noticable at the start of "Mischievous Ghost"). However,
these are very minor defects - Paul Hosken {hosken@t-online.de}
Performance: 7/10. Sound: 6/10 - John Steffes
