I really wish they would release this on LP. So, if any members of Pylon are on Discogs, PLEASE release this (or any other albums) on vinyl!

Handy quick reference guide: This compilation includes both sides of the first single, all of the Gyrate LP minus "Precaution" and "Stop It", and most of the Chomp LP minus "Italian Movie Theme", "Buzz", "Reptiles", "Spider", and "Gyrate". I wish it was sequenced chronologically, but that's just me. Otherwise, a solid collection.

Just a note for fellow collectors, my original copy of this release, due to inherent flaws inside the compact disc has deteriorated and will no longer play properly. EAC has been no help. You might want to try playing/preserving yours if you haven't lately.
