Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Belle & Sebastian released seven EPs and singles with Jeepster at the beginning of their career. None of these tracks ever since appeared on a B&S album, so Push Barman To Open Old Wounds, which collects all 25 cuts together over two discs, is a massive boon for fans who missed them the first time around. But these songs are not just for the obsessive completist. This collection gathers together some of band's finest recordings to date - certainly some of their most poetic, delicate and humorous. Classic songs like "Dog On Wheels", "The State I Am In", "Lazy Line Painter Jane", "String Bean Jean" and their breakthrough classic "This Is Just A Modern Rock Song" sound as fresh now as they did then, and reveal a group able to knit together casual backdrops of bluegrass, country & western and barbershop quartets with engaging lyrics, a strangely rural flair and heaps of understated imagination. A quietly formidable anthology, this is a must for fans and newcomers alike. Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Fantastic Collection From National Treasures.I need someone to take some joy in something I write. If you don't order this CD, I tell you I'll bite. You know know you love them here's the irony. Your going to walk away intact. Or did you really want it anyway? You like CD's especially Ones with rarities, Nine ninety eight Eight twenty nine I think you've woken up to this You better buy it If you like this band, you gotta try it If you like the kooks, then your an arsewipe How long will it take? Probably 7 days? Rating: - Push BUY NOW to Open Your Heart!If you are unfamiliar with the sound of Belle and Sebastian and you are curious enough to be reading this humble review, then may I take it upon myself to suggest that this collection could serve as a very worthy introduction to the band! It gathers tracks from all their EP releases on the Jeepster label, and is absolutely chock-full of wonderful, vital music. Disc 1 features the 12 tunes from their first 3 fantastic EPs and it is difficult to spot a duff one! There is "Dog on Wheels" with its infectious minor-key hushed vocal melody, choppy acoustic guitars and a bold mariachi trumpet break. "String Bean Jean" is perfectly simple jangly guitar pop with understated vocal harmonies. "Lazy Line Painter Jane" is a remarkable GET-OUT ... Read More: Rating: - 24 carat classIn comparison to other 5 star album, I have to agree with the previous reviewer - we are in solid 6 STAR TERRITORY HERE. For a band that still do not receive the recognition they so clearly deserve, the level of musicianship is stunning. This is grown up music with grown up subject matter. The type of songs that, in 15 years time, will have young song-writers falling over themselves to site as influences. My favourites must be "The State I Am In" - (recently discovered that this is the demo version), "Lazy Line Painter Jane", "The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner" and "I Know Where The Summer Goes". And the packaging is cool, too - hard back book style. Go on, do yourself a favour. Forget the Coldplay ... Read More: Rating: - Genius MoveAlthough I already possess all of the above titles the idea to re-package some of the bands most inventive material is a brilliant one and I'll certainly be buying it. Is it possible to give something six stars? Just one correction to the official review though, 'The State I am in' did appear on the group's first album 'Tigermilk', albeit without the word 'the' at the beginning. Rating: - Belle and Sebastien at the peak of their powersOh, what a joy this will be for people who have not had the good fortune to come across these EPs when originally released. Many of Belle and Sebastien's best tracks were laid as singles rather than on their albums, and these EPs reveal a much broader sweep to their music than their albums do. There's a clutch of classics here - the Wurlitzer driven duet Lazy Line Painter Jane, the winsome and beautiful You Made Me Forget My Dreams, the Spector-esque Slow Graffiti... the list goes on and on. This is Just a Modern Rock Song is a wonderful, fey slow-burner of a song, A Century of Fakers and Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie rattle along like few B&S songs do anywhere, Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove It is a wonderful mini-drama of ...
