5.0 out of 5 stars A classic HMHB Album, 15 Sep 2005
By Mr. Richard M. Hughes (Mountsorrel, Leicestershire Great Britain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Forget recording quality, forget instrumental virtuosity, forget sublty, just rejoice in the sheer energy and enjoyment HMHB put into this seminal album.
Although some of the references may go over the heads of younger listeners who might not remember Len Ganley, Bob Todd or might not have ever seen Trumpton; anyone living in the UK could not fail to delight in the wicked sense of humour shown by the band. All seventeen tracks deserve to be listened to time and time again. The more one listens the more one understands the bizarre workings of the minds of these "Four Lads who shook the Wirral"
The album stands the test of time as an indie classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars witty and inspired, 16 Mar 2007
I try to submit reviews for cds that deserve a wider audience (how do these top 100 reviewers get the time?) and this is one such cd. Likely to be of interest to people who grew up in the 70s, and in the UK, the humour and wit is irresistible to anyone with memories of such diverse 70s luminaries and 'highlights' as Blue Peter, televised snooker,Trumpton, The Liver Birds, Jim'll fix it, subbuteo, and those perhaps blessed with a slightly off-kilter sense of humour (can you laugh at a song which deals with necrophilia?) It's indie, abrasive-sounding, was obviously recorded on a bootlace, but very entertaining. If you buy one HMHB cd ever, and I recommend that you do, buy this one.They've produced a number of other superb tracks (eg I.T.M.A.) but have never bettered this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Careful with that spliff Eugene...., 21 April 2004
How on earth did such bad recordings get on to a CD? It sounds like theyprobably had very little money to spend on instruments and amps, and evenless to spend on the studio. Nevertheless, this is a collection of some ofHalf Man Half Biscuit's best material. Everyone that ever heard them lovedthem, but it just seemed that not enough people had heard of them. JohnPeel called them a British Institution, and said that he would like to beburied with them. When they played a small tent at Glastonbury the mainstages emptied and people flocked to see them instead.
Songs like 'Time Flies By' and 'God Gave Us Life' will never lose theirappeal for me. These guys just had such a great sense of humour (stillhave, but they never really captured the same greatness as this albumagain), that you just can't help but love them whatever they do.
