Customer Reviews:

EXCELLENT!.......2002-04-19

This is a compilation of b sides from the uk singles but you would never guess as most of these tracks would walk on to a normal record. There are a couple of let downs, songs written by the drummer and the bass player but apart from that, it's quality all the way.
My favourite songs are, Annie, Laura Nyro and Nothing to lose. These are the more laid back songs but the faster songs are great too.
If you like their proper record, Enjoy the Melodic Sunshine, then you'll love this too. Buy it! It's pretty exspensive but worth every cent.

B Sides? You Must Be Joking!.......2002-02-01

Pure Escapism is supposed to be a compilation of b sides, but it's hard to believe that any of these superb songs could be reduced to a give away on a single.
OK, so maybe the Brown/Clifford tracks aren't as good as the others, but they're the drummer and bass player, notorious in most bands for writing bad songs.
The best songs are the ones written by main songwriter, Daniel Wylie. This guy's a genius! Just listen to the gentle "Nothing To Lose", or the REM-ish "Camera Shy", and wonder at the thought behind sticking these on a b- side.
