what an amazingly wonderful price?

this band was one of jimbo's finds if i'm not mistaken.

he highly touted them and i never ever found anything by them anywhere in the brick and mortar's.

A couple of years ago I picked up Greatest Hits Vol 1 & 2. But by my count, there are 26 songs on this set that aren't included on those. And if the price wasn't incentive enough, this set includes their version of In The Heat Of The Night, which I was kind of bummed was left off the earlier comps.
