It's got absolutely everything, so assuming that the sound quality is up to par, I'll be able to replace all of my previous (somewhat substandard) CD issues of Any Trouble's early material:

Product Description
Fronted by Mancunian singer-songwriter Clive Gregson, Crewe-based band Any Trouble were signed to Stiff Records in 1980 and touted by the music press as the next Elvis Costello & The Attractions.

Any Trouble’s debut album Where Are All The Nice Girls was critically acclaimed at the time. The band followed with a second studio album, Wheels In Motion (1981). Stiff also circulated a promotional in-concert album, Live At The Venue, which only enjoyed a commercial release in Germany. The band then signed with EMI America before disbanding at the end of 1984.

Compiled with help from Clive Gregson and boasting the involvement of all the band members, this definitive collection offers the band’s complete Stiff recordings, as a comprehensive ‘Early Years’ package of the band’s musical history across 1980 and 1981.

In addition to the three albums, the package also includes myriad non-album A-sides and B-sides, including their pre-Stiff debut single ‘Yesterday’s Girls’. Many of these tracks are extremely hard-to-find on CD now and Live At The Venue makes its CD debut (apart from a German CD reissue on Line in 1988).

Clive Gregson later launched a productive collaboration with Christine Collister. In 2007, Any Trouble reunited with a brand new album and Clive continues to enjoy critical and creative success as a singer-songwriter to this day, releasing his thirteenth solo album This Is Now in May 2013.

It turned out to be the best-sounding Any Trouble CD on the market, I'm happy to say.

The band reunited again for one night to promote this compilation, playing at the The Venue 2 in London:

I have their 1st album on vinyl from when it came out, so this great having it on disc. I was surprised at how much different the songwriting was on "Wheels In Motion". Loved the live album, too.
