New Jersey “all stars”, Speed The Plough are wonderfully represented here with this retrospective that looks over their now 30-plus years career (courtesy of the fine folks at Bar None Records) in a VERY generous way;  a 17-track “best of” compiled from the band’s first 4 albums, a split LP with six new songs and five live tracks from a 1993 radio appearance, 16-page booklet, plus a download card… A total of 38 songs! It’s a great reminder of what this band has done, can do and still does/will do – listening through, you are instantly warmed by such tracks as “Aeroplane”, “Trains”, “The Roof Is Off…” and “Lock And Key” (to name a few).

Hands down, a worthy investment for this upcoming winter.  Again, music to warm both your spirit and mind.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
