#07117 Shack

Shack – Time Machine/The Best Of
UK: 24th Sep – Sour Mash
 
Liverpool’s lengendary group Shack is led by Head brothers, 2007 marks 20th Anniversary of the formation of Shack. Their recent lable, run by Noel of Oasis, presents this compilation. There are only five studio albums released during this 20 years. Time Machine is a name of one of their tracks, ironically this track does not included here. But that does not affect the quality of The Best of. 17 tracks being selected from four albums of them, no track from their failure debut Zilch. The critical claimed H.M.S. Fable offers 4 tracks while three other albums denote 3 tracks each. Two one-off singles and the other two supposed to be previously unreleased. Another H.M.S. Fable favourite Natalie’s Party and one-off follow-up Oscar are missing here is hard to understand.
