This release called 'Retrospective' is basically a combination of two classic vinyl compilations by the Workshop: '21' (BBC Records, 1979) and 'The Soundhouse' (BBC Records, 1983).
Two track were omitted though: 'Dudley Simpson - Minds Of Evil' (from 21) and 'Roger Limb - Rallyman' (from The Soundhouse).
