Once Bitten Twice Shy

Search: What You Never Know
by: Ian Hunter

Release Date May 24, 2004
For someone like Ian Hunter with such a huge catalogue of great songs it would always be difficult to choose a "best of" so Ian Hunter didn't. Instead he has gathered together all the "other" songs - the B sides, the out-takes, the hard to get and previously unreleased gems. Sheer Genius. If you want his hits then buy all his albums! If you want to complete your collection and get a few unexpected surprises then buy this.

As Ian Hunter says " I am an acquired taste. If you have taste then acquire this!"

Release Date March 05, 2003

Rather than take the obvious route of compiling them in date order the years and styles are mixed across both CD's. So whilst the informed funk of Curtis' Superfly rubs shoulders with the socially charged Notations' "Superpeople", Jesse Anderson turns The Impressions "Readings In Astrology" into a rolling groove based dance tune before reducing their epic "Mighty Mighty, Spade & Whitey into a menacing three and a half minutes of instrumental funk neatly toppped ...
