For the uninitiated this release represents amazing value. Many of the best songs by perhaps the most underrated band of the past ten years. Imagine a Pixies/New Order highbrid evolving into late The Flaming Lips, but with better songs, and you have some idea of how good The Delgados actually were. This collection illustrates that transformation brilliantly, and if you like it there is plenty more on the albums to look forward to, including such treats as "Leaning on a Cane", "Coming in from the Cold" and "American Trilogy".
For the initiated it is very welcome sugar on the bitter pill of the band's split last year. The early songs sound better than you remember, the songs from Hate and The Great Eastern sound just as good without Dave Fridmann's production, and the cover versions are a hoot.
A fitting tribute to both the band and, of course, John Peel's ears!

All I can say that this is a fab double album! The Delgados are pure pop. rock and do some cool cover versions! Check out Mr Blue Sky and Matthew and Son! And all for a few quid! Buy it!

Get the albums first

The Delgardos are a great "find", but try the albums like Great Eastern first. Although their cover of "Mr Blue Sky" is almost worth the price alone.
