"Boxed sets of Greatest Hits usually appear after the songwriter in question is safely dead, but I'm in reasonable health and I need the cash now. Anyway, this isn't really a Greatest Hits compilation, it's more a collection of the songs that are most requested at my live concerts, plus a few of my personal favourites. Taken together they form a pretty fair cross-section of the type of songs I have written over the last 30 years or so." (Eric Bogle)

"Most of the best contemporary songs of the 70's were written by Eric Bogle" (Melody Maker)

"A somewhat wide-ranging collection; if any one word could sum it up, it is probably 'iconoclastic'... an extraordinary ability to get into the mind of ex-servicemen, both those remembering comrades they left behind, and those wondering why they went. In Oz this means the Anzacs and Gallipoli, of course... Eric is also spot-on when he marks sadness and poignancy, with songs about children with cerebral palsy and worse, and break-ups of marriage... a fascinating collection, much enhanced by Eric's ability to deliver a song exactly as it should sound."
