Compilation
The band's first compilation album, released at a budget price of 99p and thus winning many new converts to the BJH cause. It's a collection which stands up well as an album in its own right, and still provokes nostalgia amongst many older fans. Belatedly released on CD (with the inlay designed to show either of the cover designs according to personal preference) by Brimstone in 1997.*The versions of "Early Morning" and "Mr. Sunshine" which appear here are in "re-processed stereo", that ghastly early 70s invention by which perfectly good mono recordings were ruined with unconvincing phasing and delay effects used to create an artificial stereo mix.
Sleeve
The original black sleeve with lyrics on the back was striking, but the stylised script made the title very difficult to read - the white sleeve with orange lettering replaced it eight months later.
