"The set is filled with unreleased songs, early mixes, private press, live tracks, and deep cuts, not to mention a fair number of acts that made little impression at the time. Despite the relative prominence of cover of the Band and a handful of cuts in a similarly mellow country-rock vein, this leans toward the harder, messier side of pub rock, and that's the distinction and appeal of Surrender to the Rhythm: London Pub Rock Scene of the Seventies: It's the graduate course on pub rock".

"This new set Surrender To The Rhythm does feature most of the names one would associate with pub rock emanating from this isle, but also finds room for some more questionable selections ... Though I've been a little pernickety, Surrender To The Rhythm does deliver musically. In fact its very refusal to stick to the "pub rock rules" throughout makes it rather more entertaining and interesting than it might have been. In doing so a more reflective and wider picture emerges rather than the usual Brinsleys/Kilburns/Feelgoods axis, great as those bands were. So this is a pretty good introduction to the scene overall with plenty of diversity and some cracking tunes too".
