 Had to pay tribute to the four guys May 18, 2010
Stan FREDO (BORDEAUX, Aquitaine, France)
I discovered Dr. Feelgood in the mid-seventies, when it seemed from afar that everything in Britain was prog-rock or rapidly degenerating glam-rock. DOWN BY THE JETTY remains one of my favorite albums ever. This compilation will not bring anything new to the rabid Dr. Feelgood collector (which I'm not. I stopped my collection at MALPRACTICE and thought at the time that the live LP STUPIDITY was dispensable). This CD acts as probably the best "best of" of the early -- and arguably best -- years of the band. You'll find studio and live stuff from Dr. Feelgood's first four studio LPs plus three tracks by bands that influenced Dr. Feelgood. Dr. Feelgood did not embarass ourselves with 'slow' songs and did not fall in any 'blue-eyed soul' trapping. They played solid, relentless R&B and always provided a good night out. No more, no less. They were the best at what they did at this point of time, proving that R&B and rock were not dead. They certainly, to my ears at least, opened the gate to other bands such as The Ramones and The Sex Pistols. Without them, I probably would still babble about whatever 'tale of topographic oceans' you've got... (in fact no, but some of you will get my point).
 Too young to appreicate them, but not too late to love them! April 24, 2010

I dabbled with "Feelgood" in the seventies because I missed them by a couple of years. Music for me started with the punk scene: Stranglers, Jam, Pistols, Buzzcocks, Costello, in that order, so apart from "Down at the doctors," and "Milk and Alcohol," that was all I'd heard of them. But last night I watched "Oil City Refinery" on BBC TV and was blown away. Was compelled to watch it all the way through. Wilko is a guitar genius, and Brilleaux had a great Rock and Roll voice. The other guys in the band seemed to prefer taking a back seat in terms of stage presence, but they still provided solid drum and bass. Wilko's frenetic energy and tortuous comments didn't always allow others to get a word in, but then he is the most intriguing to watch and to listen to. (Psychologists tell us that our personalities do not change much over the years and all these guys appear to be no exception.) Loved the cutting and pasting of old black and white movie clips of cops and robbers to tell the story of "Feelgood," and all the old footage of Canvey Island. Loved all the live footage clips, absolutely stunning and captured them at their best. Just ordered "Singles, The UA Years" at a very reasonable price. Won't be attempting to buy the backlog collection of albums (Mrs would kill me with all the bills to pay), but as a return to the nostalgia of my "partly missed" seventies experience it'll do nicely!

The Story of Dr. Feelgood? Who on earth cares? A mediocre R&B cover band, a legend in their own minds. Do me a favour.

I never did get to see Dr Feelgood live, but I did see Wilco Johnson twice in 78 when I was going through my punk phase.
Top CD I have owned Stupidity for years and this is a great addition. Would recommend to anyone who loves raw guitar based rhythm and blues.

What a cracking CD this is !
A brilliant film, coupled with a live performance from Wilko Johnson for those lucky enough to see it, I cannot wait for the DVD to be released.
In the meantime, this CD is the next best thing that transports the listener back to those fabulous seventies !!
Sparko, The Figure, Lee and Wilko - Oil City Confidential - what a line up !!!!
