"If you find this for sale somewhere, buy it! I found it for a dollar so I took a chance, not recognizing some of the songs, but this is a true little gem of a cd. Fans of the movie Hackers will appreciate "Connected" which is a hard to locate track without paying full price for a Stereo Mc's cd, which I am not that big of a fan. It is worth it to get that song alone. The tempo is a little offbeat, like segueing from Babba O'Riley to There She Goes, but that blends nicely into Maggie May. Then it takes a quirky turn to Our House, and then does a 180 back to Tiny Dancer. This flows nicely into Tempted though, and it flows well enough into As Tears Go By - though I have never been a Marianne Faithful fan. This is probably the only song I could do without - too slow. Cities in the Dust is next (another odd following) then She Came In Through the Bathroom Window, a great Cocker rendition. Then it flows into Black SAteel, which seems like it would have gone better next to Cities of Dust, but whatever. Then comes Wild World, Sunflower, and Solisbury Hill, which all flow well. Then it takes a party tempo with Connected, and ends very strong with Bloddy Well Right and Baby I Love Your Way. It's kind of like listening to a radio station that isn't boxed in by a single format, so I actually rather enjoy it. All the songs are great actually. I only harped on the Marianne Faithful song because its placement messes up my dancing when I am cleaning/working to this CD. It really is a treasure, a priceless little jam colleciton that I highly recommend. Go for it!"
