Great cover, from the back (what should have been the front) of The Doctor LP w/JBU. Nice little compilation from 1987
and burned onto CDs back in 1995
following CT's disasterous W. W. A. M.
Not bad for the price. Bought it down
here in Virginia at Planet Music. JB
Rocks! Look soon for 'Rockford' by CT.
Too short to be worthwhile...
The CD opens with the track "I Want You To Want Me", contrarily to what's listed on the back panel and the CD label itself; the rest is in proper running order. Made in USA in 1995, Serial# QCD-707, Playing Time 33:02
This compilation lifts tracks up to their 8th album, "Next Position Please", and is comprised of well-known and ignored tracks.
I would suggest you pass this one up; there are better compilations of this group out there!.
A poorly sequenced mishmash of tracks.
Avoid this one! Instead, buy Cheap Trick (1997), their most fully realized studio album, or At Budokan or Music For Hangovers to hear one of the Top Five live acts of the rock era do what they do best. This one smacks of a label's desperation to just slap together a compilation without any thought as to how best to present the artists' work.
