i'd only heard the single 'rip it up' by orange juice before i was introduced to this wonderful compilation. i prefer these early lo-fi versions to their more extravagantly produced album tracks. 'blue boy' and 'satellite city' are absolute rippers. 'satellite city' has a xylophone solo at the end that will send you into euphorics. and 'to put it in a nutshell' is an all-time great ballad. minus the less-than-stellar cover of 'i don't care', this is an immaculate collection from top to bottom.
