Commentary

"Like Pillows And Prayers, this is a 2-CD set of former Cherry Red vinyl releases.  Both contain Red Box's original version of Chenko, but this release raises the bar a bit over Pillows And Prayers by offering us Andy Partridge's "The History Of Rock N Roll" as well as rarities from Everything But The Girl, Marc Bolan and others."
