I love Vin Garbutt, but his records are hard to find in North America. Thank goodness for Amazon UK! This album is a great collection of Vin's work. However, if you are just new to Vin or are looking for a first album, I'd recommend Unplugged, which really captures the brilliance and comedy of the man.

Vin can be listened to for hours. Every time you listen you pick up more nuance. Excellent buy!
