Details: Three CDs Featuring 47 tracks including the band's three studio albums recorded between 1985 and 1990 - Cock Robin (1985), After Here Through Midland (1987), and the ripe for rediscovery, First Love / Last Rites (1989).

It included the hits 'The Promise You Made', 'Thought You Were On My Side', and 'When Your Heart Is Weak.' The success of the singles propelled the album into the top 10. Their second album, 'After Here Through Midland', followed in 1987 and was another huge success across Europe. It included the hit 'Just Around The Corner.' Europe's love affair with the band propelled the album into the top 10 (Netherlands #6, Belgium #3, Germany #6, France #4) and it went platinum in France. Third album, 'First Love / Last Rites' produced by Rhett Davies, who worked with Roxy Music, was released in 1989. Despite it's high quality the album fared less well except in France where it reached #11 and went 2 x gold. In the US and Japan the album was issued in 1990 with their cover of Conway Twitty's 'It's Only Make Believe' added as track six and that's been included here.
