This is an album that's been a long time coming, and which will make Holly's fans old and new happy as clams... At last, a compilation of her best 7"-only releases from over the years, gathered up from several uber-cool indie labels. This includes alternate versions of several songs that have appeared on LP, as well as some real obscuro tracks. It's a little light on the cover tunes, but since Holly writes such great original material, we'll forgive them this omission... Get it while you can: this is one of her best records to date! (Originally reviewed: January, 2002)

This CD is an excellent sampling of the first six years of Holly's recordings. It is stripped down, sparse and raw, which lets Ms. Golightly's vocals carry you through to her world of bittersweet and achingly funny emotions. Not as ascerbic as the Broke-Offs lyrics, but you can see where she's developing her own brand of wit. A thoroughly enjoyable listening experience.

regardless whether you know holly or like holly, if you like your basic 3 chord rock 'n roll, hold on to your boot straps 'cause this album will take you for a ride.
