From the glorious slash and burn of Stranded-era track “SOS ’75” via the horn-driven “Red Aces” (the mooted follow up to 1977s classic 7" Know Your Product) to “Winters Way”, recorded and released by the Laughing Clowns for their 1984 swan song LP “Ghosts Of An Ideal Wife” but written in 1975 and presented here closer to its original form.
Meanwhile “Goodnight Ladies” (arguably the album’s centrepiece) draws from three songs written in the period, the earliest being from 1969 when Ed had just entered high school and which he describes as ''a kind of overture of my pre-Saints stuff." Elsewhere, “Country Song in G” can stand proud next to Kuepper’s 1990s solo classics “The Way I Made You Feel”, “I'm With You” and “Wish You Were Here” although its inception dates back to late 1977.
