Note Another year passes, and another compilation. We don't really need another Like You Do, and essentially this is what this album is with a few extras to make up the numbers. Inclusion of new song Tables Have Turned is a nice feature as it's a great song. Could have been left off though and kept for Four Winds. The re-recording of Song For No One is unncesscary and doesn't improve on the original in any way. Cover versions Lucifer Sam (Pink Floyd) and Be My Baby (The Ronnettes) break it up a bit, as do album tracks If Only and Feeling Lazy. However, this is yet another missed opportunity - the omission of All I Want from the compilation, and no single version of Ready Or Not either. Ideally, the cover versions should be left off to accomodate All I Want (preferably the single version), Joy and single versions of Marvellous and Ready Or Not. Still, the quality of the songs themselves more than make up for the fact that this is a cash-in by the record company. And it's a damn good compilation to have in the car!
