Wouldn't it have been better

if they'd included their Evening Session sessions as well? Not including their excellent piano version of 'I Can't Help Myself' is, frankly, a bit daft. As is expecting anyone not to look at CD1 and think, "8 tracks? Fuck that!".

how come

there are only two dates if there are four sessions?

I'll probably still get this even though i only really love the first two albums.

Do

Gene even have 8 good songs?

3 versions of As Good As It Gets?

I hear a barrel being scraped pretty vigorously

LOL

What a flashback....

This band were from Watford?

I have NEVER heard of them. And I worked in a CD store. In Watford.

I'd just never come across the name.

We had a lot of stuff of that sort of era too, 'cause we were mainly a second-hand store.
