Sleeve: Band posing on a sofa, all looking older in leather.

Sleevenotes: Usual pictures and track listings

Content: 20 tracks, including three number ones and umpteen top ten hits. Not in chronological order.

High point: Old classics such as Sweet Little Mystery and Angel Eyes are much more fun and upbeat than dull later material.

Low point: Twee latest single All I Want is wrong choice for opening track. Better to start with Wishing I Was Lucky.

Glaring omissions? No

Anything new? All I Want, Hear Me Now and (Feels Like I'm) Walking On Water.

Justified or feeble excuse for release? It's all on here, so justified.

Where might this end up at Christmas? Not in my stocking, but mums and dads may like it.
