Customer Reviews:

Not bad.......2006-08-08

i like most of the songs on this dual disc compilation. i am not a fan of live recordings so i was a little disappointed to hear my favorite songs by TWS done live. the only good thing is that the live recordings were done at decent levels. i would buy this album again.

TRUE MEASURE OF A BAND.......2004-01-21

The Wonder Stuff were a late eighties early nineties band that was absolutely massive in the U.K. and practically unknown in the U.S.A. So the age old question arises, "How can a band noone ever heard of release and album of rarities? after all, if you've never heard of them isn't all of there stuff a rarity?" as I am apt to answer yes to both of these questions being a huge Wonder Stuff fan I have to say no. Although there four studio albums might not have seen alot of stereos they were always readily available hidden somewhere between Ron Wood and Stevie Wonder Records. The music on this two disc set is about as rare as you can get (for U.S. fans anyway). Pulled from the b-sides of their 13 singles, these tracks are actually just extensions of the albums the singles were pulled from and you can actually picture them interspersed between the already exsisting tracks. I always thought the true measure of a band was what they did on the b-side and The Wonder Stuff prove they were worthy of our attention and deserved more than they got. This album is a great retrospective of a career that, sadly, never was. Bottom Line - An absolute must-have for wonder stuff fans- don't question it just buy it, if your new to the band start with "Never Loved Elvis" and go from there.
