This review is from: Casual Introduction (Audio CD)

I bought this album because I liked the few Orange Juice tracks I'd heard at the time and didn't want to pay the import prices for "You Can't Hide Your Love Forever". Anyone buying this for OJ material will be disappointed - the focus is mainly on Collins' solo material, and the versions of OJ tracks on this disc don't sound nearly as crisp, bright and energetic as they do on YCHYLF.
