Background

Issued in the UK as a sampler by Polydor when they took over the distribution of the Verve catalogue from EMI and reissued the Verve albums.

This was the first LP to include Big Leg Emma and Why Don't You Do Me Right?.

Who Needs The Peace Corps?, Concentration Moon and Let's Make The Water Turn Black are the "heavily edited" versions.
