Dec 2, 2015A magical compilation for a magical and underrated group. The deluxe edition includes a unreleased album for 1994, which is a must have for fans and for the new listeners who wants to learn about the group. A must have.

MagnetOct 14, 2015It's neither better nor worse than any other Clientele album, but it's an excellent primer. The real treat for fans, though, come sin the deluxe edition which includes a 10-track "lost album" from 1994, The Sound Of Young Basingstoke. [No. 125, p.53]]

Sep 10, 2015Alone & Unreal: The Best of the Clientele is a well-chosen, emotionally powerful selection of songs that works well as an introduction to any poor soul who may have missed out on the group the first time around, but it also works perfectly as a summation of one of the most enriching musical experiences of the guitar pop era.
