Nick Lowe is one of the greatest pop/rock songwriters ever, in my opinion. This set is great way to get to know his catalog, which is extensive. Nick has rolled with the times and aged as gracefully as I've ever witnessed in the pop/rock world. So many great songs in here!

Been listening to Nick Lowe/Rockpile since the Labor of Lust LP...nice to hear some older stuff/versions of songs I wasn't familiar with. The first CD in the set is terrific, with its nice variety of tempos and moods -- but on CD #2 all the tunes are too similar...good songs mind you, but very much the same.
