Description
Four CD set that contains 76 highlights from the critically acclaimed 14 Disc box set, The Last Of The Teenage Idols. Disc One contains 25 songs and opens with Alex and His Soul Band performing "Framed" live in Hamburg in 1964. The CD is bookended with the inclusion of "Framed" being performed by Alex and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band from their debut album of the same name. Sandwiched between these 2 songs are 23 songs, many of them covers. Disc Two contains 16 songs and finds Alex and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band in fine form as they run through many live favorites and studio tracks. Disc Three contains 18 songs spread across the Sensational Alex Harvey Band albums and includes the hit singles "Delilah" (#7 in July 1975) and "The Boston Tea Party" (# 13 in June 1976), plus cover versions of "Schools Out", "Crazy Horses", "Goodnight Irene" and "Cheek To Cheek". Disc Four contains 17 songs including the SAHB rarities "Engine Room Boogie", No Complaints Department" and "Satchel and The Scalp Hunters" plus the best of Alex's post-SAHB albums and ends with a heart achingly beautiful demo version of "Billy Bolero" from the sessions for his final album, The Soldier On The Wall.

Nothing new, just highlights from the bigger box.

Robert Meagher · 30 Sep 2006

Still at the right price...I'd get it.

I have the big mother lode version and it is an outstanding set. I am sure this would be excellent as well.
