If you're a fan of the groups Island issues and have a hard time finding the original LP:s, this is a good choice. It has one previous non-LP track - "Midnight Lady" '45 A-side - the rest is from the albums. It's a fine exposé with dirty rockers, most produced by Guy Stevens and done almost live in the studio with few overdubs. Right-on recordings without much afterthought. Maybe it could have been a bit more extensive, e.g. with some further addition from "Mad Shadows" or "Braincapers". Best thing with it is the high sound quality. Too many late compilations suffer from limiting or compression of the sound - this still has original audio, almost as loud, clear and natural as on the first press LP:s and that's worth a lot. US issue 1974 (Atlantic SD 7292) reached #112 on Billboard. First UK on pink rim label as shown here and fully laminated cover with "pinched" spine. (MÖHÖ*) (GÖJ*)
