Sleevenotes: They do the job.
Content: Impressive 18 tracks spans the band's career, with selections from 1977 onwards, taking band from art-house punk to something more sophisticated, yet individual.
High point: You may find you have may have some difficulty answering this one. Psycho Killer, or course. Once In A Lifetime. Girlfriend Is Better. Road To Nowhere. And She Was. Take your pick.
Low point: None.
Glaring omissions? No.
Anything new? No.
Justified or feeble excuse for release? Feeble but satisfying.
