Comment:

In some ways the ideal band for a mix: Loads of brilliant moments lodged in albums which you wouldn't really care to hear from beginning to end, plus enough b-sides, oddities, and cover songs [most notably their bizarre cover of the entire Fleetwood Mac Tusk album, recorded in 1987 and recently released to the public] to mix things up. The album tracks here are arranged chronologically, the other stuff sprinkled about to keep the flow well-paced. A great, under-appreciated band.

I love Camper, but I haven't heard a lot of these tracks. Looks cool.

Looks great! Lots of favorites represented, including the Ringo Starr and Buzzcocks covers. Didn't know about them covering the Tusk album. I might want to trade for this someday.

Nice to see some props going to one of my favourite bands circa my teenage years. I agree with your assessment about their albums, although I think OBRS is pretty consistent throughout.

David Lowery played the black guitar. Great mix.

PS- when I was 15, and had no concept of liner notes, I thought Camper Van wrote O Death. To be 15...
