New Bomb Turks - The Biggest Combo

Most of the New Bomb Turks' early singles and compilation appearances are collected on the incredible "Pissing Out the Poison" compilation. Most of their final non-album material is collected on the rather good "Switchblade Tongues, Butterknife Brains" compilation. But only some of the material released between those two eras is compiled on the rather shitty "Big Combo" disc, which included a fraction of the rare stuff, alongside readily available album tracks. I had this CD, hated it, and finally sold it. So this is an improved version, which contains all the exclusive tracks from it, mixed with an abundance of other singles, covers and live recordings, and even some early stuff that "Pissing Out the Poison" omitted. I couldn't be bothered to list sources for all the tracks - there are plenty of discography sites which you can consult for that info - but roughly, this is the breakdown:

Disc 1: (mostly) chronologically arranged single tracks, compilation tracks and covers, topped off with a few live covers taken from bootlegs.

1. Bottle Island (3:37)
2. Jim Motherfucker (2:34)
3. Up for a Downslide (2:44)
