A compilation album by Cocteau Twins as the band's first release in the American market consists of tracks recorded in the years from 1982 to 85, some of which only have been released on ep or as single releases, i.e. all three tracks from the single "Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops" (1984).
It's not bad, and despite the early takes, which should underline their earlier post-punk and dark wave sound, the tracks have been selected to fit a more contemporary Cocteau Twins dream pop sound.
