    5.0 out of 5 stars Searching for a heart of gold? Look here..., July 6, 2002

    This is simply a must have set,GBV fan or not. It gives you 6 albums of great music AND points the way to even more GBV triumphs yet to come. This collection contains the band's independantly released albums right up to Vampire On Titus plus it adds a disc of cuts that you can only get with this set. There are more valuable gems that exist here than in all of the diamond mines in the world. I choose this vinyl version,which has been like a best friend to me since 1995, only because you get Propeller as a bonus. 6 lp's of the finest music you will ever hear...yes Virginia there is a God!

    Devil Between My Toes is Gbv's first full length release. Dropped in 1987 (!),this is the sound of a band searching for it's voice. Still, "A Portrait Destroyed By Fire","Dog's Out","Hank's Little Fingers" and "Captain's Dead" point to the ground the band would mine in the future. Listening to the band create their sound out of scratch is something any fan should hear yet it's a compelling listen in... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely must have, May 19, 1999
    By A Customer
    This review is from: Box (Audio CD)
    If you know someone who owns this collection, no matter how good of friends you may be, you must kill them and claim this as your own. Simply put the most beautiful pop songs written, the gems more than make up for the experimental tossoffs. Needmore songs? They are all right here.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Listen to Dayton Ohio's top philosopher; bring a six pack, January 6, 2000

    This review is from: Box (Audio CD)
    Perhaps the number one job of an artist is to provide the public with a complete picture of themselves and the world they come into contact with. If that's the case, then Rob Pollard is a gem of an artist. Listen and learn what its like to be a school teacher dropout turned basement rock star from Dayton Ohio. A philosopher lubricated by American beer and cigarettes, Rob weaves complex metaphors about simple ideas. His band cranks out big hooks over walls of tape hiss and missed cues. By listening to a do-it-yourself rock star, you as a listener, can become a do-it-yourself revolter of the commercial music industry. You may even be inspired to quit your job or start strumming and writing lyric in your basement. My recommendation: buy the wax edition and dust off your turntable.
