What was the BBC thinking?

"It is well documented that the thin murky production on this infuriated the band upon this disc's release, and they were right to be angry. It almost seems like a cheap attempt to cash in on RAW MELODY MEN. If you can muddle through the bad sound, it's easy to see that this is not because of the band's performance: NMA are as tight as ever, and the quality of the music itself isn't lacking. This one, like the previous review says, is only for the collector, mainly for the live tracks here that do not appear on RAW MELODY MEN. Those looking for live NMA would do much much better to start with ...& NOBODY ELSE, and then go to RAW MELODY MEN."
