2 CD compilation from Tindersticks containing 26 tracks recorded at the BBC in the years 1993 to 1997. These are all familiar compositions - all released on the band's first three studio albums - and as such it's not recordings that are distinctively different from the original versions, so in that way, the album here is more of a collector's item sitting somewhere between live recordings and traditional studio releases, although it's always nice to hear a band made up of skilled instrumentalists.
