This is a rather peculiar and disjointed collection of tracks culled from 1988's reunion album Don't Say Goodbye along with other late period recordings.

Only fleeting moments of the Strawbs' patented progressive folk and rock gets uncovered, which is no surprise since their final albums leading up to their late '70s demise were also bereft of those key ingredients.

With only eight tracks, continuity is definitely lacking here, other than the familiar and unique voice of Dave Cousins.

The Strawbs are neither pop hitmakers nor schmaltzy romantics so why was this compilation necessary?
