"All on one disc are the most important songs ever recorded by this excellent Scottish post-punk outfit. It was not long before the group disbanded, but in that short period of time, Paul Haig and his talented group produced some of the most sublime music of the late 70's and early 80's. Never one for the commercial aspect of the music scene, Josef K did what they knew best and quickly left the scene. Not for them the years contemplating their glory and success. They recorded and released their best material and then left it at that. What they did release was stunning. From the wonderful 'Visions of Cindy' to the jolting, Orange Juice-esque, 'Chance Meeting'. I can't rate this disc highly enough to fans of the group. To others, this collection provides you with the opportunity to discover one of the hidden treasures of the last 25 years in the music world. Widely regarded and very influential, maybe JK are for you too."
