"Few albums in the 90's start as strongly as this gem from the Providence, RI trio called Small Factory. The first two songs evoke such incredible angst with controlled power. This album never gets old. The third and fourth cuts are a little calmer and provide a good transition to the rest of the ..."  [+]  Reply

"The remastered version of this one is fantastic! The SOUND is just wonderful. This is THE best single disc compilation I've heard of Bowie's early years, up to 1975-76. If you're a fan of his music, pick this one up if you haven't already done so!"  Reply

"I still remember the quite pointless debate among fans: 'Tokyo Tapes' or 'World Wide Live'?. My answer as always been: "why you just can't have both"? They belong to different eras, with different line-ups and a completely different tracklist. 'Tokyo Tapes' is really a heavy album, while this one..."  [+]  Reply

"Not quite what I expected. I expected an electronic album. The first track is as straightforward as any Neil Young song, it's not until the second track where the album's new sound starts to be heard. Still, to be honest, it's just a typical Neil Young song that is just wrapped up in vocoders and..."  [+]  Reply
