5.0 out of 5 stars What's not to like about Cud? 12 April 2007
By R. Easson
Format:Audio CD
It doesn't surprise me seeing all the fine reviews of this truly great band, brought together in this timely anthology.

It would be impossible to fit all the golden melodies, as lively as the singers dance antics, onto two disks, but this really is a definative collection for the new or uninitiated to Cud and a chance to update format for all us early adopters.

The first CD is a blistering trail through many of Cud's finest moments, including the seminal Strange Kind of Love, mostoriginal cover version of Lola, the too too too funky I;ve had it with Blondes and the perfected pop funk stamp of Hey Wire.

In referenceto some of the previous reviewers, I have to agree CD 2 strays too far into the A&M near catalogue for my liking. The tracks are more produced, more overblown but saying that, are still a wicked collection of rock-pop tunes and will blast the cobwebs of mediocre playlists into obscurity.

Like most, don't miss this albumn. The band were amazing on record and as a live act. Whether they reform or not, this is an excellent chance to catch up on some pure genius that puts today's acts very much into the shadows.

i work in the "biz" and i got a sneaky preview of this release.

most of the earlier stuff has been completely overhauled and remastered...it sounds super-fab.

i will be recommending that everyone i know buy this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic 30 Nov 2006
By Mr. S. T. Clare
Format:Audio CD
Cud were always a favourite of mine because they were slightly different from anything else around.

The highlights for me on this 'Best of' would have to be Vocally Speaking and Oh No Won't Do, but there's so many other great moments.

In any case (and forgetting the music for a moment) a band who comes up with a song called 'Only (A Prawn in Whitby)' deserves all the success they get.

4.0 out of 5 stars I was a teenage stamp collector
I had to buy this the other day because I'd had a dream that I was singing "Only A Prawn In Whitby" with some drunk blokes, and I had to hear it again. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars sublime
Cud were always will be a classic indie band. the pure indie sound laden with funk was something very rare and bold for the late 80's / 90's sound at the time. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great to hear it on CD but could have been even better!
Having continually played their LP's for the last 17 years, and replaced my vinyl with expensive CD's on Ebay, I was really chuffed when this anthology was issued. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars missed them first time round
too old or too idle to catch them until now - my loss. Don't make my mistake - this is a tight, melodic and original sound that really rocks.

5.0 out of 5 stars AT LAST!!!!!...
...a collection of one of the best bands EVER. Sadly demised over a decade ago, I rank them among The Smiths, Popguns & Pixies as one of my favourite groups ever. Read more

Now is the time and the time is now for you to get to know the mighty CUD, if you don't already that is (and if you do know them, buy it anyway!). Read more
