The best of is a compilation of tracks from their first three albums, on Fontana. ("The Lilac Time", "Paradise Circus" and "& Love For All", plus a second disc of virtually every b-side from this period and a few unreleased tracks. Since then they've done three more albums, "Astronauts" on Creation in '91, and "Looking For a Day In The Night" and "lilac6" on Cooking Vinyl. (The label where bands from the 80's go to die, seemingly)

Amazingly, my "best of" doesn't have 'J'taime' on it! It's good though ..... I can see where Jarvis Cocker got a lot of his ideas fromn. Throaty, sexed up 'talking' over a backdrop of strings. The earlier, poppier stuff from the 60's and 70's is better than the later 80's stuff, which is spoilt by bad production. But it is a pretty good compilation.
