A great compilation of a great band, includes the iconic All Right Now and My Brother Jake which still get regular airplay. Sadly the great track Wishing Well from the album Heartbreaker is missing but that aside there isn't a bad track on the album. If you have nothing of Free then this is the album for you.Quote:

I remember this coming out back in 93 and, being a big Zep fan, wanting to get it.
But after a couple of years on the dole I'd gone back to university and was on the bones of my arse. Plus a few reviews said it was rubbish so I couldn't take the chance.
No Youtube to check stuff out for free in those days.
Anyway, now I have it.

The version I have is pretty good, even though it is on red translucent vinyl there is no surface noise, a very ambient recording, the first track you really get the church reverbs.Quote:

Good one Adrian - one of Bowie's better ones.
Do you get an 'improvement' in the annoying background noise; particularly noticeable on the first track?Quote:

An alternative source, and one that I subscribe to, is that the background noise is the church's air conditioning system. It is too even and constant to be traffic noise, and if you listen carefully you can hear the 'squeak' of the fan bearings.Quote:

Me too, Kimono My House... haven't heard it since my mate had it, about '74 iirc.Quote:
