This review is from: The Virgin Years: The Best of Cracker & Camper Van Beethoven (Audio CD)

This is the only place to find the nice radio edit of the Eye of Fatima 1 & 2, as it bridges the end of part one to the soaring Greg Lisher solo towards the back half of part 2... it rocks.

The disc is comprised of 4 tracks from each of the two Virgin records Camper albums, a nice selection of tracks. The second half of the disc is Cracker, five songs from the self-titled record, all great ones, and the three big singles from Kerosene Hat to round things out.

Of all discs out there, this might be one of the best introductions to both bands for newcomers.

The allure for collectors is the great edit of Eye of Fatima here.
