Title: Not The Best!
Review: This compilation is not the best way to introduce The Stranglers to a new audience or, for that matter, to persuade die-hard fans to part with their cash. Culled mainly from the previous three Stranglers studio albums ( 'About Time', 'Written In Red' and 'Coup De Grace' ), this album contains some of the better songs ( 'Valley Of The Birds', 'Money', 'Still Life') and some of the very worst ('The Light', 'And The Boat Sails by', 'In A while') to appear on the these three albums. Throw in a couple of live tracks heard a million times better on other CD's and you have a very half-baked album which, in my view, I can't understand was ever compiled in the first place. There are so many other albums like this around which do the band no justice whatsoever. I suggest you pass on this one!
