Greetings,
Thanks for including the bonus tracks too - perfect additions to this musical time capsule! 🎸🔥

The bonus tracks sounded better than the originals
Love them all and thanks so much
Outlandos D'Amour for me was by far their best album!
Great band
Sweet tunes! Great selection of bands and some of their best songs! I don't think I've heard that Elvis Costello song in decades, it's been a few years. Nice pick!
