Look at the review down there. Usually stunning in both sound and performance across all three tracks, the Mick Jagger and Sinead O’Connor songs are definitely the weakest. Absolute brilliance otherwise.

Awesome collection. Adore hearing this on vinyl, it sounds fantastic. Really happy they put out this compilation. It's tough to come across some of their older records on vinyl, and nearly impossible to find a pristine copy.
