Press:-
"This 19 track compilation brings together
some of their finest moments, including debut single ‘Like An Angel’ and
blissed out, melody soaked tunes such as ‘Into The Heart of Love’,
‘Rollercoaster’, ‘My Biggest Thrill’, ‘Inside Out’ and the 13th
Floor Elevators classic ‘Splash #1’. Songs from their first four albums, as
well as EP tracks, singles and b-sides, this was the sound of the Mighty Lemon
Drops at their peak.”
