"This new collection of low-budget recordings and rediscovered live material (parts of which were previously available on 1993's Ride The Wild Tom-Tom set) captures The dB's' sketchy formative years ... Both Holsapple and Stamey have mixed feelings about their singing on these recordings, but if the high harmonies on this version of Dynamite and the glorious What's The Matter With Me? are not perfect, they encapsulate The dB's' delight in creating this spectacular music for the pure joy of it".
