A very nicely packaged compilation CD from the French Legend Music label complete with picture disc. The booklet contains a brief history of the band, a picture of Glenn Studios and the lyrics to all the songs.

As with other Exiles compilations this contains songs that are not strictly speaking Exiles material and are either solo Merrell projects or leftovers from the Fapardokly album.

Sixteen of the tracks on this CD are the same as on the American Sound vinyl release but there are four additional items - Ready To Roll, Exiles Blues, Everybodys Talkin and Tampa Run.

The back cover proclaims the Exiles as "one of the first surfin' psychedelic band (sic)" ... hmm!
