 Rating:  - A Good Collection!There's some great songs like "Breadfan", "In for the Kill" and of course the four songs from "Bandolier" album: "Breaking All the House Rules", "I AIn't no Mountain", "I Can't See My Feelings", and "Napoleon Bona parts I & II". Good work! Rating: - A pretty good all-rounder.Spurred into digging out this CD again after seeing the band live at Mr. Kyps in Poole on September 21st, (for the second year running - check their website, they're on tour and may be playing at a venue near you!), the tracks covered here are excellent. I originally got into Budgie in 1968 with their first album, tempted partly by the sleeve and the publicity surrounding the band at the time, and also the intriguing 'Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman' song title; which is as strangely quirky today as it was back then. And they didn't stop there, either, as 'In The Grip Of A Tyrefitter's Hand' also on here justifies. Budgie reformed partly due to a DJ in Texas playing their tracks and a cult-following building from the airplay, and thankfully ...

Unlike other Budgie releases that has a classic Roger Dean cover this one is really awful and needs repacking. Remember don't be put off by the cover, this is a great value cd (offered at £3.33 when I checked) and is highly recommended. Rating: - Pure rock n rollWhen my dad said I should check out Budgie as I had just got into old fashioned (but quality) heavy metal, I was skeptical. I mean after all Budgie is an awful name! But this cd is genuinely enjoyable, with enough significant songs to be regularly played. Breadfan and Breaking all the House Rules are amazing, but NApolean stands apart, it really is fantastic. Budgie have a really raw rock sound, (especially as there is only 3 of them), that sets them apart. I think they are worthy of a place in the cd collection! Rating: - Heavy seventies rock at its best!Budgie are one of the forgotten 'heroes' of seventies heavy rock. They paid they dues, wrote some good songs and some good-ish albums. The covers were what attracted most people when perusing the record racks: evocative, Sci-Fi paintings by Roger Dean. A shame that this album has such a boring cover - the Budgie crew were not exactly handsome chaps at the best of times.... but could they rock! I recall an excellent gig they did - one of so many for this busy band - in Northampton back in the early-ish seventies... hot sweaty, loud, powerful stuff. Many of the highlights of their set and their career are on this album - I particularly like the track 'Breadfan'.... the bass belts out in awesome fashion. The dimunitive boss of the group whose ...
