Compiling early singles, album highlights, and unreleased rarities from the wildly influential Glasgow indie group. The tracks perfectly capture their charmingly amateurish, rough-around-the-edges approach to sweet pop melodies, which directly inspired the C86 movement. The collection served as a vital document introducing their shambolic aesthetic to American alternative rock audiences.
