The human story of Jeremy Oxley's fall has naturally become the centrepiece of their legend, but this shows what some of the musical fuss was about. Their first creative burst – and remember, they were teenagers, or just over – included the extraordinary Alone With You and Happy Man for starters. Beside the Oxleys' fraternal harmonies, Richard Burgman's choppy guitar and Bill Bilson's drumming made a perfectly lean racket. Sadly, they were pushed too hard, and by their third album in under three years, the talent (and Jeremy) were damaged. There are some still truly great songs here.
