"Some songs makes the CD really worth: the live version of "Cindarella Search", expecially the lead guitar, is wonderful. Some other songs, like "Lady Nina", are nice, but have to be labeleled definitively as "B" sides. These are the minority on the CD, and after all I think this is a very good one. I liked the first edition which missed "Keyleight", "Fugazi" and "Script for a Jester Tears" and I think these three songs add a great value to a CD which was already good."

"This is a combo of two live EPs from the early 80's (not really a box set).It's interesting to listen to it to get a feeling of what the band was like back when it was starting to gain a bit of fame. It's the only place to listen to some of the early songs in concert, as sang by Fish...a real nice complement to 'The thieving magpie'...it's also one of the few places to find the studio version of 'Freaks'"
