This CD is generally a good collection of hard to find song versions. The incredible part of this CD is the old Easy Cure tunes. They are very hard to come-by. The following boot-legs are where most of the songs on this CD come from: CD single Close To Me-Closer Mix (#7). CD single Close To Me-Closest Mix (#7,8). Acoustic Daze (#3,6). Unplugged & More (#6). Swinging Piggy In The Miror (#12,13,14). 17 Boys Have Faith In Pornography (#1,2,9,10,11). What Happened Behind The Door? (#1,2,3,4,5,6).

I listened to it about 5 times at the CD STore (much to their anger I never bought it). If youre searching for "rare/remixed" trax, this is a good one for you. But the downside is the sound quality is "scratchy" in most songs. If it had A-side songs I wouldn't have even thought about buying it. For the collector, not the sound quality lover.

I just picked this up yesterday and have listened to it since. This has got some stuff that is a real pain to come by, and I'll have to agree, the old Easy Cure demos are really cool to have. On a personal note, this CD has the Red Mix of Primary, and it is just spiff. It also contains a few studio demos from The Top; All Cats Like Cheese is very good. The sound quailty is not the greatest, but you have to figure where a lot of this stuff came from.
