I think it is EVERYTHING that was released on A&M plus the four tracks that
first appeared on the Rhino cd... So even if you have the Varese cd you
probably do need this... No real duff tunes, and so many great one. Played this
on my radio show today too (see BLR message :>)))
One of my all time favorite "forgotten" bands... I can't say enough about them.
I've been over the moon since this came out, and I have ALL the Rhodes stuff on
vinyl....
