Liner Notes:
An "Official" Bootleg
Over the past 8 years, the Shambles have amassed a rather large
collection of appearances on compilation albums, singles, EP's and even a
movie soundtrack or two. "What You're Missing" collects 8 years worth of
odds and ends, including out of print rarities, hard to find album
tracks, outtakes, demos and even a few live recordings. The inclusion of
many sought after tribute album recordings, is not only a boon to
collectors hard pressed to find the original rare recordings from
countries such as Spain, England, Japan, Sweden, and the US, but also
shows the large scope of musical influence the band enjoys. Sound quality
varies track to track, as recording budgets and circumstance often
dictates, but we feel this set accurately reflects what Bart, Kevin, Mark
and an unusually large collection of drummers get up to in between proper
album and EP releases. And no, this set doesn't collect it all. That
would be a complete Shambles (sorry...)
