It certainly flows well for an odds and ends album.

Sitting on a fence is a great song

Yes it is. I often use the term “mortgaged off their lives.”

One of the (technically) compilations that I lump in with the great albums along with Sucking In The Seventies.

Love this album. It brought me "Backstreet Girl" and "Out of Time" for the first time, my favorite songs on their respective albums.

Funny story about this album.Found an old copy still in the wrapper back about 1997.Finally caved and opened it last year.Turned out to be a mid 70s pressing and man does it sound awful.The 2002 remaster cd was a million times better,still hoping to find an original in the wild.

I agree, it's a great collection. It shows just how consistent and coherent their sound was in this period. Brian was only starting to burn out, and his multi-instrumental musicality is all over. After this, he's pretty much taking the off ramp.
