It's easy to see from the albums these songs are from that this set probably isn't very good! I like Hurtwood Edge (...a LITTLE!) and some of the other Early-Releases (...to SOME extent!) so I suppose a song or two from any of those (...but WHICH?!) would be a good addition (...then again, I would rather have the entire LP's!) to this Not-So-Well-Worn later stuff...

Not a whole lot to say about this collection, other than it's mostly lightweight, airy, unremarkable instrumental pop sounds. There are a couple of decent tunes here, such as "Rush Hour", "Street Party" and "The Bruiser", but overall this is too laid-back for my taste. 2 stars from me.
