This is one of the greatest albums I own. It is the album which first got me into Armchair Martian, one might say I was a little late to the party (or even that I have entirely missed the party), but I still play the record constantly. I was shocked to see the album only got one 2 star review. I own every Armchair Martian album (and recommend you get them all if you like this record) and I can testify against the other review that the recordings are of excellent quality. Overall, there are 31 songs on this album. It includes a compilation of recordings from previous albums (including the whole of Monsters Always Scream) plus some extra tracks which are either very hard to get hold of or have never been released. Anyway a great album from a great band, someone who has collected every single Armchair Martian artifact previous to this album may not gain a lot from it, but for those who need to complete their collection or those just willing to try something new from a band few people have been privileged enough to hear, buy this.

This is a B-side record of 20 or so songs. Most of the songs can be found in better quality on other albums. I bought this CD because I love Armchair Martian and figured I would find a few nuggets that aren't on the other albums. It hurts to say there are no redeeming qualities about this album. If you're interested in getting into Armchair Martian, I'd recommend their self titled album or "Hang On Ted" (if you can find them).
