The Bo-Weevils formed in 1985 playing '60s inspired garage punk and released a couple of 45's on the Kavern 7 label. The line-up changed in late 1986 - Davern (vocals/gtr/keyboard) and Nino (gtr) joined original members Mark (drums) and Neil (bass) [replacing Ian (vocals/gtr) and Stephen (gtr)]. This new line-up released a 12" EP on Kavern 7 and debut LP on Mr. Spaceman Records. Around this time their sound/style moved away from garage punk to a more psychedelic/hard edged style.

In 1989 The Bo-Weevils signed with Rubber Records and all future releases appeared on the Rubber imprint.

Disc 1 focuses on studio tracks from their 5 albums. Disc 2 contains previously released live tracks, unreleased live tracks, rare B sides and tracks never before available on CD. All tracks have been re-mastered.
