"This four-CD boxset aims to piece together the whys and wherefores, with emphasis placed on the band's two studio albums: 1969's debut Taste and 1970's On the Boards".

"What was it about Taste that could ignite the Isle of Wight yet end in a bitter, inexplicable divorce? Why did Gallagher never play their songs in public again? There are no easy answers on I'll Remember, a Taste live-and-studio boxset that follows the recent Gallagher anthologies Kickback City, Live At Montreux and Irish Tour '74. Over four discs (1967-70), we hear a blues-rock band stretching out onstage - and showing off their folk and jazz influences in the studio - but the one thing we never get is a sense of climax or closure. Are Taste one of rock's great what-might-have-beens? If so, Gallagher's solo career (1971-95) had to serve as their alternative history".
