5.0 out of 5 stars Original recordings, March 26, 2002

By	Mr. Terrence H. Kemp "Terry K" (Perth, Western Australia Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A wonderful introduction to Iva's world. Each song is wonderfully written and recordrd and, unlike another review points out...these are the original versions and NOT re-recorded.
There are NO Man Of Colours tracks as Iva felt they were too new at the time and deserved to be heard as a set and not broken up for inclusion on a greatest hits package.

Any Icehouse purchase is worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quintessential OZ, March 4, 2000

By A Customer

While Oils were rocking the Northern Beaches pub circuit, Ira Davies was busy putting together the most sophisticated Australian music legacy of the time. In a golden era for Oz/NZ music, Icehouse stands as arguably the best, and certainly, the most underrated band of their time.

Buy this CD, listen to it once - I dare you!
