Totally Surprised and pleased

"I grew up in the home town of the Daredevils, and I was going to college at SMSU when the Daredevils were just getting things together. American Artists Studios, where this was recorded, was a small but effective recording studio in Springfield, and it was the only thing that artists had in the area. (American Artists also did things like local HS Band concerts, and the like.) However, that sure didn't hurt the sound quality of this compilation.
"Pilot" music such as this first compilation is usually somewhat scant with good cuts scattered about. I was somewhat surprised by some of the songs on this album that never got otherwise released. It's full, with 18 cuts, and almost every one has some value. Some of the cuts became big releases, and it's interesting to hear how they originally did them. Others that didn't get otherwise released will really surprise you in how good they were.
This will be enjoyable music to Daredevil fans, new and old. If you are a OMD fan, you won't want to miss out on this one that has quite a bit of good music that even many die hard Daredevil fans might not have even heard yet."
ONE OF THEIR BEST

"I first bought this year's ago on album, it has always been one of their best (in my opinion) it's very clean for the age, and so raw I just love this cd version. And it just has it's own magic you just have to hear it, this is also a nice long player. You get to hear some of their songs that became classics later on, they have a different sound but are just as good and sometimes better. (if you prefer raw) So I think this is well worth buying I don't think there is a bad tune on this one."
