and is often overshadowed by other bands from that `77 era. The first
CD in the set will contain the band's singles and b-sides. The second will feature
an album titled "Sweet Revenge" that the band never formally released as well as
an interview with bassist Tony James. The third disc will feature unreleased
live recordings from a 1978 show in Osaka, Japan.
