I hope everyone who saw "Burn After Reading" stuck around for the credits.  "CIA Man" played during the credits and, well, really tied the movie together.  It's good to hear the Fugs recorded well and upgraded in performance quality (I have the old original ESP albums, and are they ever crude!).  And I'm happy to know the Fugs are still around and still creative.  Great collection.

There certainly isn't a bad track on this collection and the sound quality is commendable. In that regard, it deserves 5 stars. However, since the majority of the music presented here is already available, there isn't enough new material to make it truly valuable to Fugs collectors. I that regard, it deserves 3 stars. I bought it because I am a completist. 

This would also make a fine introduction to newcomers, although I can't imagine that there would a lot of people that fall into that category. 

As is evidenced by the fact that a DVD of a live recording is on the way, one would imagine that there is some unreleased live material in the can that should have been released instead of the "best of" CD. Hopefully, that day will come soon.
