Just Wow! *by D***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2011* Well I feel almost ashamed as a Metal fan for not having listened to this group MUCH sooner! Their music (atleast the early stuff) is phenomonal. I know it's been mentioned before that they were an influence on Metallica, and listingeing to a few songs here it's blairingly apparent why! Breadfan reminds me much of the setup for "Master Of Puppets" (though Metallica also covered this song on "Garage Inc."). The lead singer is a bit nazally and highstrung, but considering some of the other early acts of the time (Ozzy in Sabbath) this wasn't that odd. But the guy here really can deliver lyrics in a special way. They are always exciting and clear, and often border between bizzaar and just plain creepy ("baby lying in a womb, are you free or in a tomb?). If their other albums weren't all upwards of $20, you bet I'd be snatching them up too. Though I understand they fell to the deadly foe of metal that was 80s commercialism, all the stuff on this CD is solid. And for the life of me, I don't know why I "Aint No Mountain" wasn't a Billboard chart topper. It's the poppiest and most easily accessable of the bunch. Breadfan is just a speed demon of a song, a slug fest of lyrics and guitar. Parents is, as mentioned before, epic. "Breaking All The House Rules" and "Hammer and Tongs" had a surprising blues feel to them, for a metal band, but were pretty awesome too! I highly advise any fan of metal and hard rock to pick this up! It's a true classic and a treasure! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars THIS SHOULD RUFFLE A FEW FEATHERS *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2008* Very few compilations deliver as well as this one but it's hardly a career-spanning epic, that said the ten songs featured, representing three albums from the mid seventies, clock up an amazing seventy minutes of raw, hard rock from a band sadly overlooked, under-rated and often ignored.It must be stated that Budgie existed before Led Zep and around the same time as Cream but like many UK regional bands suffered the ignominy of London record companies. Budgie, Taste and Stud all had similar experiences of low profile marketing and low budget recording deals. The comparisons often levelled pale in light of this.This album kick starts with "Breadfan" and maintains the momentum with "In The Grip of a Tyre-fitter's Hand". It's enough to reel the listener in and apart from an attempt at a single, Andy Fairweather-Low's 'I Ain't No Mountain', the album offers some truly great moments in arguably Budgie's best period. All ten minutes of 'Parents' and the epic 'Zoom Club' too, not to mention Napoleon Bona Parts I & II. Shelly's vocals may be an aquired taste but they work in this framework along with some amazing guitar from Tony Bourge. Drum duties are split between Ray Phillips and Pete Boot but I defy anyone to spot the difference.Highly recommended especially to casual listeners, real fans would have all this material already. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good condition for a used CD, but took so long to receive. *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2021* Good condition for a used CD, but took so long to receive. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/8755231-very-best-of-budgie](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/8755231-very-best-of-budgie) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
