Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The word retrospective should always bring joy to the ears of the music lover. By its very existence it sounds more alluring, grander, more encompassing than the idea of a ‘greatest hits’ or the notion of a ‘best of’, for in its design it is surely meant to inform the listener of the totality of the music on offer rather than being picked as a crowd pleaser, an album which is designed to be in the charts rather than educating the intrigued with an entire catalogue of work.
