When they released their first album in 1989, the Boston-based trio Buffalo Tom were written off as Dinosaur Jr. junior. Admittedly, their debut was in debt to J Mascis' thundering guitar and folk-tinged songs and it didn't help that Mascis produced the record, either. Over time, Buffalo Tom stripped away their grungier influences and developed into a straight-ahead rock group of the early '90s, capable of throttling rockers and beautiful ballads. This cheap 5 cd set features the Beggars Banquet era albums 'Birdbrain', 'Let Me Come Over', 'Big Red Letter Day', 'Sleepy-Eyed' and 'Smitten'.
