    What can I say about this album? My "stuck on a deserted island with only one record to play" album. It's that good. Plus you get two CDs of demos, rarities and live tracks to flesh out the original brilliance. Need I say more?

      ... and of course you can buy it for the full Entreat concert CD (we've been longing for a full and not truncated version for years!), a must-have as regards the songs' renditions and the pristine sound. Not to mention the great packaging and booklet. Thank you Bob.

        Looks like I'm totally buying this for "Pirate Ships". Such a great song, so damn hard to find. Amazon still has a couple copies for less than anyone is asking here, by the way. Happy hunting.
