A superb collection of 10,000 Maniacs and Natalie Merchant material, some unofficial and some from hard to find official sources (B-sides, compilation albums, etc.) There are almost no compromises on this collection - just about everything is top quality, although some of the 1980's material suffers from clicks and pops, presumably from the transfer from vinyl. |
