"I found this record in my garage and I have to say...The End is AMAZING versus it's digital half. This is a really good 'Best of' album, and includes two b-sides. 'Who Scared You' is one of them and one of my favorites by the Doors."  Reply

"Discovered this through Luke Haines hilarious and extremely cynical memoir, Post Everything: Outsider Rock and Roll. It's a melodic and very downbeat record that reminds me a little of Sparkle Horse or Eels."  Reply

"The missing link between pub rock and punk rock, but to me they still lean towards the first. There's some great covers here (The Kids Are Alright is top) but the best one remains the last track, On The Run, which on live albums is even longer and better than on this regular album. Not everything..."  [+]  Reply

""Barabajagal" was Donovan's last album to be released in the 1960's and his fifth produced by Mickie Most.

The three hit singles..."  [+]  Reply

"Ray and that great Hammond B3 organ along side the Count Basie Orchrestra deliver a fantastic swinging performance! "I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town" is one of my favorite Ray Charles tunes (It can be heard closing out an episode of The Sopranos). Other stand outs: One Mint Julip I've Got..."  [+]  Reply
