ALL MUSIC GUIDE: "Almost 20 years down the road, Barbara Manning's first two
albums are still, if not her best, her most treasured. Long since out of print,
it would have been enough to simply have this material available again, but
Rainfall Records has done even better. Not only have they released the albums in
their entirety, remastered from the original reel to reel tapes (never sounding
better), but they've also included radio sessions, live tracks, home demos, a
couple covers, and some outtakes from the albums as bonus material. The live
material doesn't always perfect sound, but it's nice to have some documentation
of the time. The outtakes are a special treat, as they weren't necessarily left
off because they're inferior; it was simply an aesthetic choice. The electric
version of "Prophecy Written" or the extra verses on "Mark E. Smith & Brix"
could have easily made the grade but were left off in favor of different
versions. Songs like "Make It Go Away" and "My Name Is Not" aren't throwaways
either. They just remained in the can until now. Of course, it's the original
albums that will draw people to this collection. They've lost none of their
charm in nearly two decades and have aged remarkably well. The discs themselves
come in nice LP jacket reproductions and the booklet has liner notes from friend
and compilation producer Pat Thomas and quotes or anecdotes from other musical
luminaries like Steve Wynn and David Kilgour. Manning went on to bigger things,
but she never sounded better than she does on this material. Limited to 1,000
copies, you better act quick if you want to hear why Manning became the indie
darling she is today." (Sean Westergaard)
