A great Dr Feelgood-collection

"Dr Feelgood was (is) a bar band. A pub rock band. They played short, unpretentious rock songs, muscular and melodious R&B loaded with crunching guitar riffs...you must've heard their renditions of "See You Later, Alligator" and "Violent Love".
These forty tracks are really everything that the casual Feelgood fan needs. "Roxette" is here, as is "Keep It Out Of Sight", "No Mo Do Yakamo", "Sugar Turns To Alcohol", "Milk & Alcohol" and every other well-known song, including four from the post-Brilleaux album "On The Road Again".
Not every song may be of the caliber of "Roxette" or the other classic hits, but there is nothing bad on here either.
I'm sure that dedicated fans can find a couple of worthy album tracks missing (like "I'm A Hog For You Baby"), but this is really a very good and thorough compilation, and should satisfy almost everyone.
You really should get the live "Stupidity" as well, though."
The BEST Party Album Ever

"No frills pub R&B that Dr Feelgood turned into an art form ... I was lucky enough to see them live and the whole pub went off! This compilation is as good as you could hope and well represents the Feelgood era. Even if you've never heard of Dr Feelgood, you (and everyone else) will have heard many of these songs that no-one can resist singing along to. Like I said ... the BEST party album EVER!"
