Must-Have Album for Foo Fans
Any Foo Fan will love the album. Most of the songs from Medium Rare are on here, save "Young Man Blues", plus a ton of other covers. If you don't have the deluxe edition of The Color and the Shape with the 5 covers and the title track then you'll get them all here. The originals are fantastic. Just 2 very small gripes: I'm not sure this is actually a Foo release, since the band hasn't promoted it, altho the quality is great. All Foo albums, plus Probot and Sound City, are available on the band's online store. This isn't. Also, the track listing is a little off. On disc 1 songs 7 - Win or Lose and 11 - Make a Bet are the same song. And Marigold is listed but wasn't on the album. If you need Marigold then get Skin and Bones. At any rate, this is a must-have for any Foo Fan.

Great collection....
While not a complete collection of Foos rare, demo, or cover material this does the majority of it into a really nice package. Only complaint I have is that when loaded into my laptop the first disc comes up as the Greatest Hits video disc and excludes Marigold but I still give it a five star rating. The titles are easily enough changed for storage purposes and technically Marigold isn't a Foo Fighters track and I already have it with the Nirvana box set. The band's interpretation of other bands material is always interesting. Sometimes it's completely faithful to the original or sometimes they make it their own like with Baker Street. All in all definitely worth the cost and there's no other way to get these tracks unless you hunt down all the obscure singles and expanded versions of their albums. Considering that the future of the band is uncertain at the moment now would be the time to pick this up. *****

Unofficial but still great collection
I felt bad initially buying an unofficial Foos release, being as how the band won't actually get any money for it. However, this collection of songs was fantastic, considering I missed my chance to purchase the Record Store Day release "Medium Rare". So all of those songs are here plus a few that have been on albums. And the design of the actually cd and case were pretty impressive.

Good enough!
When you put the disc in your computer, the tracks are all mislabeled which is kind of odd. It took about 3 weeks to arrive.However, it does have all the tracks I was looking to get so I can't really complain. I just wish I didn't have to go through and relabel all these.

FooMama Approves =D
I did not know I could love them more! Sexiest song I've ever heard is If Ever... I think I even have a new favorite! They're all good! The ones that are already released, these are the alternate version of the song, and a lot are new, some are remakes, and WOW. Just WOW. Only wish one small thing: Bring it to us in VINYL!!! ~ FooMama

I'll start off saying that this is probably worth it just for the cover of "Band on the run" alone.However, this is far far from an official FF album, to the point where there are tons of misspelled words and gibberish on the back cover.Several songs arent "rare" theyre just songs on albums that arent as well known.A decent amount of these songs sound as though they arent even the Foos, should only be a single disc CD

A Must-Buy for Foo Fighters fans
This album is a must-buy for any Foo Fighters fan. I can't believe how many great songs are on this compilation that I haven't found elsewhere. It was compiled in 2015, so it's very recent and even has a B-side from Sonic Highways. Also, this isn't on Spotify or iTunes, so the easiest way to get these tracks is by purchasing this CD collection.

Great listening upset about the one song being listed but omitted! To bad Dave didn't put something like this together for the fans instead of having to get a bootleg.
