The best way of getting attention for the reformed suave '70s popsters is to put out a compilation of their considerable hits. These are accompanied by some lesser known epics like LP stand-out, the frenetic Re-Make/Re-Model from their debut, the schizophrenic and suggestive Mother Of Pearl from Stranded, and the manic Do The Strand.

Classics include the lecherous Avalon, jaunty More Than This and Over You, sinister Same Old Scene, tear-jerking Dance Away and subversive Love Is The Drug, all wrapped by a glamorous model on the cover.

The allure might be skin-deep but an enduring elegance wins through. But haven't we been here before? Who cares give us a kiss.
