Annotation

Notes

A nice selection of early cuts in the Cabu Collection (featuring cover art by the caricaturist).
Good dig if you're not onto a completist trip (as this contains nothing new...).


Notes

Second disc of this nicely assembled compilation.
A good dig for beginners interested in the early years.
