A really great collection of all the Bluetones singles, so good to hear all these songs again and this collection shows that there was a lot more to the Bluetones than the one song that most people remember (Slight Return) they were an almost overlooked band in the mid to late 90's which is a shame

Great singles collection from an under rated band

Yes it's theoretically a Greatest Hits, so I cheated when buying this to start my fan-love of the Bluetones, but it simply is amazing. I was only a kid when they were big in the 90s, but I instantly recognised Slight Return and the fantastic Marblehead johnson, unavailable on all the other albums so that's why this ones great. After Hours was the sole reason I bought this, if you haven't seen the video, you should go look it up. It's a genius take on Bugsy Malone. And the song is amazing. Not to be objective but they really are one of the most under-rated english bands ever. You've got so many good songs on this album it's hard to cover them all, of course highlights are Solomon Bites the Worm, Autophilia and Cut Some Rug. They span across all albums, so you get a taste of just how fantastic their entire career really has been. This was pre-Luxembourg so I suggest buying this and that, and if you love it all, then go back and buy every album they've done. They never produce anything below standard and this album's a testement to their talent. The bonus disc houses a wonderful cover of That's Life, and a few more Blue-themed songs. Literally, anyone from mums to dads to grans would love this album, please give it a go.Read full review
I bought this album as a gift for a friend. I have tickets to see Bluetones in concert and wanted her to come. She wasn't sure. I bought her a copy of this CD and it reminded her how great the Bluetones are and she went out and bought her tickets the next day,
Trending the history of this great band, this CD lends itself to a musical biography allowing the listener to grow with them track by track. Great album.
