Pure neo-West coast pop rock, the Fanclubs have been around for more than a decade while many, many others have fallen by the wayside. A sort of best of' album it includes their biggest chart hit, Ain't That Enough' plus their pre-Creation days. It's a joyous romp through the career of a band where the new songs sit happily with those recorded over the last 15 years. As the three new songs prove, this is by no means a farewell for Teenage Fanclub, it is a celebration of their career so far, and a glimpse into what the future holds. This is for those who may have flirted with the band but never really got stuck in.
