Notes

A double album anthology that samples something great from every album up through 1974's Everything You Know Is Wrong. The title comes from Catherwood's classic exit into the time machine in Nick Danger, which is here in its entirety. But wait, Forward into the Past is also one side of a rare 7 inch EP (backed with Station Break, also here) released between 2 Places and Dwarf that was never on any album until this one. There's two chapters of Giant Rat, the song Back to the Shadows Again, Mark Time from Dear Friends and lots more. Another great intro point for the novice Firehead.
