A pretty decent compilation, this. Mostly original recordings, with some live tracks. All the hits are here. However, a little Dury goes a long way, and the Kilburn & The High Roads tracks are not for everyone. Dury was at his best when he displayed his wicked sense of humour, but tended to get a bit sentimental from time to time. This would've made a really good single CD compilation, but as things stand, it was still worth buying some extraneous and unessential tracks to get the hits.
