Title: some of the great tracks are here...
Review: Ok, I realize how hard it would have been to make a cd compilation like this. Word has it that Bob himself chose these songs so I guess it makes little sense to question why "Bulldog Skin" was chosen over "Little Lines" from Mag Earwhig or why "I am a Tree" was chosen over "Sad if I lost it" from the same album....Gbv are one of my favorite bands ever, and I am happy this was not my first introduction to them. I would have made the assumption that they were just a good band, rather than the great force that they were circa Same Place the Fly Got Smashed,Alien Lanes, Bee Thousand, Under the Bushes... If someone is curious about GBV and is reading this, try one of those records first, and you will be a changed person for life. This record might not do that for you...not to say it isn't good - it is, but this is the Coles notes of GBV. The whole story is much much more involving.
