Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally compiled specifically for the UK market to capitalize on the rapidly accelerating garage rock revival, this ferocious collection combines tracks from the Swedish quintet's first two studio albums. Anchored by the explosive, wildly successful single 'Hate to Say I Told You So', it triggered a massive international bidding war for the band. The release perfectly captured their hyper-energetic, sharply dressed rock-and-roll swagger.
