The years have flown but those anarchic, surreal and hugely enjoyable albums 'Let's Spin', 'Zoom Daddy' and 'Outdoor Elvis' have long been favourites for all those dedicated nuts who searched them out. Now here are all the best cuts, not to mention several Bonus Eddies plucked from the archives by chief Eddie, Terry Taylor. The tracks pack more lyrical punches than a Tyson/Bruno title fight, the almost Funkadelic of "Disco Love Grapes" is still a doozer while "Hide The Beer The Pastor's Here" is the kind of song guaranteed to aggravate all fundamentalists. Lovers of the absurd will go for the "Arthur Fhardy's Yodeling Party" while my absolute favourite is the previously unreleased "With The Tired Eyes Of Faith", a beautiful acoustic ballad which with its haunting harmonies sounds more like a Lost Dogs cut. Utterly original, occasionally wacko, but truly essential for Daniel Amos/Lost Dogs buffs.

there are seldom few albums that can pack so much creativity in 70 mins. This album is at the top of its class. Typical brilliant lyrics from that great guy Tez scott Taylor, and the music doesnt stay in one place for long. these are tracks that are raucous, loud, forthright, piercing and encouraging all at the same time. I for one am well glad i found daniel amos, the lost dogs, terry on his own and these brilliant swirling eddies. you can get the feeling of at first glance thinking most of these tracks are funny, but really listen and youll find raw truth al the way through this epic best of album. Big Guns and Catch That Angel are marvels of pop rock, Driving In England is another brilliant non stop light rocker, What A World has to have some of the best background vocals ive ever heard. a startling ballad. And With The Tired Eyes Of Faith, well, a beautiful track that is so hard hitting, the simple acoustic guitar is overwhelmingly sublime. so this album has to be one of the best best of albums out there...absolute genius! thanks God for giving these guys such talent!

there's a new very good cd by the swirling eddies called 'the midget, the speck + the molecule' maybe somebody can write a review (there's also a very good new cd by the lost dogs called 'the lost cabin and the mystery trees')
