Only a collection of Microdisney's finest moments if life began with Virgin.

A compilation of Virgin tracks with a few earlier ones snatched from John Peel sessions give lip service to an historical overview. The Peel sessions had already appeared on previous Virgin single releases. It's cheap (if you paid more than £7 you've been done), it's tacky (they obviously gave the job of cover design to someone with nothing better to do on a Friday afternoon) and it's nasty (the inner booklet contains a two page advertisement for Virgin's other compilations).

Despite this it's a good introduction to the band and the songs need no packaging to fend for themselves. As good value for money as you're likely to find anywhere and it's the only Microdisney release currently available.
