Camper Van Beethoven-Greatest Hits Played Faster

A great live album recorded in 1990 and released in 2012. Another one in the Cigarettes and Carrot Juice box set. The 5 CDs included are in cardboard sleeves. There is also a 16 page booklet telling the early history of the band with photos and liner notes. The songs are good and the recording sounds really good. Many of the songs were new and unrecorded. The seven piece band includes multiple guitarists and singers, bass, drums and violin. The band broke up during this tour and David Lowery formed the band Cracker and got FM airplay with the song “Low”. They reformed ten years later and put out a cover of Fleetwood Macs Tusk album and later three more releases. A really cool band and I will have to listen to the other two albums in this box set.
