This baby turned up today from Japan (Ebay purchase). This was the only major Belle & Sebastian release that I'd never got to buying for some strange reason. Anyway, I knew the songs from various other bootlegs and one must admit that it's not their strongest batch of tunes. Maybe I should mention that, in relation to other B&S releases this is not perhaps their most convincing effort but that some bands would be hard-pressed to put out a release as good as this. Maybe I'm biased. I don't really care.
I finally got to getting this because recently I finished reading the stupendous rock biog penned by Paul Whitelaw who seems to have spent a lot of time interviewing the various members of the cult Scottish outfit. The seemingly never-ending saga between Stuart Murdoch & Isobel Campbell is nothing short of fascinating. A fantastic read if, like yours truly, you are a fan of the band.
