5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Album! 31 Oct 2005
By "exarch22"
Format:Audio CD
Fantastic stuff. I think what makes it so good is that it has some class tracks, and absolutely no stinkers to bring the album down. Powerful sound, brilliant album to have on when your driving!

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Big Country 29 May 2004
By D G JONES
Format:Audio CD
A unique sound from a unique group.The guitar rifts that remind me of bagpipes,yet so much better, reverberate around my brain long after the CD player is turned off.The lyrics are superb, especially on the somewhat disturbing yet brilliant track "Chance". A CD I very much enjoy,perhaps made more poignant by the untimely death of Stuart Adamson. Big Country never achieved the acclaim I think they deserved, but for fans this is indeed a good a good one for your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the early hits on one CD - a must for all BC fans 18 Nov 2000
By "bcgogs"
Format:Audio CD
This album released in the early nineties covers the heyday of Big Country. All their hits from the first four albums are covered - brilliant for blasting out in the car

This is an excellent 17 track compilation from Scottish rock band Big Country. They had many hits in the UK in the early 1980s and 1990s. Read more
