The classic Burma tracks "This is Not a Photograph" and "Peking Spring" anchor this collection. The other eight cuts, dating from the band's early-Eighties fadeout, also offer their own sonic merits, particularly the insistent, driving rhythms of drummer Peter Prescott, who later went on to form the Volcano Suns. This album is a nice companion to the Rykodisc M.o.B. reissues.
