Singles -- The UA Years
is a terrific double-album set that chronicles all of
Dr. Feelgood
's major singles, from 1976's
"Roxette"
to 1986's
"See You Later Alligator."
Although the hits-only approach leaves out some major
Feelgood
songs,
Singles
remains a first-rate retrospective, and for many years, it was the best
collection available. The 1997 double-disc
Twenty Five Years of Dr. Feelgood
later replaced
as the definitive retrospective, yet there are enough songs on this collection to make it worthwhile for serious fans who don't want to spring for either the box set
Lookin' Back
or the entire catalog. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
