SUPERGRASS
THE STRANGE ONES 1994-2008
BMG
When Supergrass announced their reunion in September after a decade away, some kind of reissue campaign was inevitable. The welcome surprise is the sheer thoroughness of their boxset – The Strange Ones 1994-2008 encompasses more than 100 additional songs, on top of their six studio albums. You get all 38 B-sides, four CDs of live tracks, 12 demos, four previouslyunreleased songs and a 7” single featuring brand new versions of Richard III and Caught By The Fuzz. Throw in eight badges, four posters and a book of essays about the band for a reasonably-priced £150 and only an idiot would complain about a career rounded up so comprehensively.
