Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.co.uk
Hefner are the type of band that cult followings were designed for. Outsiders refer to them as quirky, see their distressed and loveless tales ("Hello Kitten" with it's jaunty chorus of "I'm gonna make myself go blind tonight") as amusing and consider their angsty guitar stabs "novelty songs". Devotees have quite a different view. For them Hefner are the honest, intelligent and sincere alternative to pop's processed emotions and saccharine lyrics. And Hefner releases don't come much more honest and sincere than this collection of rarities and b-sides, made up of a clutch of unreleased live favourites and tracks recorded for the BBC (most of which were for their biggest fan, John Peel). This is one for the fans, and the fans alone--a stripped down take on Darren Hayman's neurotic, emotionally wrought vocals, fragmented pop guitar insanity and obsession with minute lyrical details (like pre-stardom Jarvis Cocker). And with classically perky and punky versions of Hefner classics "Christian Girls" and "Pull Yourself Together" and a beautifully tender and previously unreleased rendition of "Lee Remick"--a countrified ode to family history--the faithful will not be disappointed. --Dan Gennoe
