--------

Fans of Belle and Sebastian's witty bookworm pop are an obsessive lot, and no

doubt they'll snap up this cherry-picked collection of BBC recordings from 1996

to 2001. The draw for devotees is four rare songs from a 2001 session, including

a hilarious fan letter to kindred indie-pop intellectuals the Go-Betweens

("Shoot the Sexual Athlete") and a kind of hushed farewell sung by Isobel

Campbell, who left the group soon after ("Nothing in the Silence"). Otherwise,

aside from a breezy glockenspiel revision of "Lazy Line Painter Jane," these

versions are pretty close to the studio originals. But the selection is so good,

the set doubles as a best-of ΓÇö it's a fine intro to the group's tuneful world of

lovelorn geekdom.
