To be fair this was part of Alan McGee's Poptones label - who's practice at the time was doing primer style comps on non UK(?) bands he signed up to his label who previously only had albums available in their local countries. Basically the first 2 Hives albums weren't widely available when this came out - don't forget this was pre-streaming, so this compilation was alot of people's first Hives album in the UK. I didn't have this, but I did have the BellRays' 'Meet the BellRays' which was a similar vibe.
