An odd release if you think of it: tracks 6-10 are live, 2-4 are new songs and 1 is a different version of Red Skies, my favourite version of the song, actually. It's a good and solid listen, but it doesn't add overly much to the release, those live tracks. Fun to hear, but all in all, they can't offer that much new over the studio versions, hence the lower score.

As i said, Red Skies sounds amazing here and the new tracks are quite cool, especially Big Wall. Would i urge you to go out of your way to get this? Well, not necessarily. For anyone who is either a fan of The Fixx or new to the band, it does give a decent overview to their sound when it was at its best and it does contain live versions of some essentials from their discography (Are We Ourselves? and One Thing Leads To Another). Red Skies is also cool on here. It's good, pick it up if you find it for a reasonable price i guess.
