just have to sit back and wait.
tis weird to be able to listen to a relatively successful bands complete catalogue in a couple of hours.
gotta love the era of the short album.
just a shame they could not get clearance for the peel session stuff.
i am assuming it was a clearance issue, as this has been released in conjunction with WEA who i guess have no access to the peel session.

no neighbours tonight.
bloody hell this band knew how to make a fantastically brilliant noise.

just been advised that the last 4 tracks on 'good and gone' are actually the peel session.

Can't believe these guys get a reissue - good for them -- i'll throw a shout for "Killer Born Man". And on a completely unrelated note, Mr. Carter can plop a hot steamy one on a similarly-domed guitarist with the same initials.

Lol at the first half dozen posts.

It's £45.40 on Easy Action's site, and £28 (with shipping to US) on Amazon.uk, and $59 USD in the US Amazon site. That's quite a wide range in pricing. I ordered the cheapest option.

Easy Action really jumped the price up - when I pre-ordered, I believe it was £35.

two months pass...

Just picked up the box set. (Found it in an actual brick n' mortar record store, if you can believe it. They had 3 copies.) What great racket these guys made! Can't believe the Bowie endorsement (plus that Flintstones song) didn't put them over the top. I remember seeing them in the 80's, Bill Carter playing with no pick, just using his fingers, a Tasmanian devil of blood, sweat and spit. (In an impeccable suit, no less.) I still wonder how it's possible to play like that and not shred your fingers to the bone each night.

I only know the Flintstones song, what's a good example of what else they did

Everything's on Spotify. My favorite album is Bikini Red (the one with "I Wanna Be a Flintstone" on it), but Gun Shy is really good too.

Listening to this now. I hate Gutfeld, but it's amazing to hear this guy's voice again after basically 30 years.

Astounding. Genuinely astounding.
