A glorious mess. You settle into one style and rhythm, and then it changes on the next track. The autenticity sounds real, as do the tensions in the band.

Like most double albums, this would be better as one record. The 'young(-ish) rich drugged-up blokes locked in a basement together' vibe does wear thin after the first 9 songs or so. Shake Your Hips is a good intro to Slim Harpo for the uninitiated, and there are some classic songs on here (Happy, Tumbling Dice and a few others) but in terms of the number of songs included: just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
