Excellent career retrospective of one of heavy metal's most respected underground bands. One of the nice things about this disc is the lengthy liner notes, written by fellow Canadian Martin Poppoff, author of the Heavy Metal Collector's Guide. The five page write-up is titled "Anvil: 20 Years of Thrash," and includes quotes by Anvil members as well as personal comments by Lips about specific songs on this collection. We are even given explanations as to why original members Ian Dickson and Dave Allison left the band. A complete discography (minus "Backwaxed") is also included. The song selection comes from all the band's releases but has a strong showing from "Metal On Metal" material. Unfortunately, the only one rare song is "Stolen" from the 1997 Japanese release of "Plugged in Permanent"[1]. This particular track has not been released on any other Anvil release until this collection.[2]
