“A police car and a screaming siren 
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete 
A baby wailing and stray dog howling 
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking 
That's entertainment.”

it contains all of their single A- and B-sides, every cut from their six albums, and every non-album EP track they recorded;
