Very Good Collection

Review Score: (8/10)
I would have given this CD five stars were it not for a few glaring omissions. Peter should have included In Your Eyes and No Self Control. Also, the edit done to Mercy Street (Compare it to the version on So and you'll see what I mean) is kind of annoying. However, if you already own his other albums, you should definitely pick this one up. Shaking the Tree is an instant classic PG tune and Here Comes the Flood grows on you if you give it more than a couple of listens. Overall, a very good disc.
