The Band: The Best Of The Band
Bob Woffinden, NME, 25 September 1976
ANYTHING THAT allows The Band to maintain their self-imposed torpor should be actively discouraged, and it is with this sentiment in mind that I proposed not to welcome this new compilation, even though it will be good news for anyone remiss enough to have missed out on the group's bounty of some years back.
