Framed you have been.......2003-02-26

Don't start here if you are a first time buyer. Patchy at best. Sultans Choice, Blackhouse and Sirrocco are hardly great songs.
Pick up Next which is brilliant. Not a bad track

Dude - this is the one to have!.......2002-05-21

I don't own this myself, but I own all his superb albums, and this has nibbles of the best of each. Most SAHB collections I've seen focus on the earlier material, with its cagey vaudevillian charm laced with Harvey's gutteral poetry. Fortunately, the band really took it up a notch with 1975's "Tomorrow Belongs To Me" (its mesmerizing opening cut "Action Strasse" is here) and went on to make some very powerful and enduring original works that straddle the line between punk snarl and theatrical attention to detail. This collection has samples from all eras of this captivating and original band, starting with their very rare 1st lp ("Isobel Goudie") and culminating with a haunting desert excursion in song "Sirocco". The live version of "Faith Healer" still gives me chills after all these years, and the best SAHB song (and possibly my favorite of all time!)is here - the title cut from Alex's (mini) rock opera, 1978's "Rock Drill." I know you probably don't have all of their great albums, so this is by far the best place to start. Vambo Rool, ok?
