This two-disc, 39-track condensation of the 74-track four-disc
At the BBC
is nice, managing to hit all the true highlights from the larger set, including covers of
Ronnie Lane
's
"The Poacher"
and
Manfred Mann
"Pretty Flamingo."
This does make this sampler worthwhile for fans who don't want to purchase the larger set, as it does offer the best portions of the box, but it's also true that if you're serious enough of a fan to want this material, it's probably best to go all the way and invest in the full four-disc box set. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
