Notes

Tracks 1.2, 1.3 & 1.4 are new recordings.

Track 1.6 "Finish What Ya Started" seems to end abruptly in mid-note. Possibly a CD mastering oversight.

  • QpermanNBujuTunes's avatar
    An extremely satisfying collection. I’d only include Drop Dead Legs and Top Jimmy but, being as 1984’s the Only VH record I own, I’m ok with those exclusions. Actually, Summer Nights shoulda been on here 🤨 I too wish there was a vinyl release for this, but 🤷🏻‍♀️ this’ll hafta do.
