From a reviewer at AmazonUK:

The 20-page booklet is substantial - it features the front and rear artwork for each album, the lyrics, reproductions of the original LP labels, colour photos of the band and a new essay by ALAN ROBINSON. The mastering was done by PHIL KINRADE at Alchemy Studios in London (it doesn't say it's been remastered) - and the sound on both discs is excellent - punchy, clear and to my ears improved on what went before. Also - they're pitched at less than mid-price - so this release offers a lot of music for very little lay out.

It is a great price.

Mmmm. Wonder why they just picked these two. They were all on Warners, weren't they? I'd be in for earlier ones done like this as well.

You are not kidding Geff. I would have paid this price for a remaster "Time Loves a Hero" alone.

I hope they do the rest of the catalogue. I have been on a big Little Feat kick lately listening to the wonderful box set.
Time Loves A Hero is my favorite album by them. They were absolutely amazing and Lowell George is so sadly missed.
I would like to get this but I'm curious as to why they would only do these two titles-they have to be doing more right?

Rick A · 23 Jul 2006

Could be IP that they are doing titles that MFSL haven't done first. I agree with you about "Time..." Lets hope for more. I submitted my order for the Feat album noted so I will report back on sound quality.

Thanks Rick, I will look forward to your report. I have Time on USA cd, but only have Farm on vinyl.
