Performer Notes:

• Liner Note Author: Phil Hendriks.
• Plenty of Ian Hunter compilations have appeared over the years but the 7T's label's 2012 double-disc set The Singles Collection: 1975-83 offers a distinctive spin: it offers the A- and B-sides from Hunter's post-Mott commercial peak of the late '70s and early '80s. Many of Hunter's classics are here -- "Once Bitten Twice Shy," "All American Alien Boy," "England Rocks"/"Cleveland Rocks," "Ships" -- and plenty of his quirkier overlooked rockers from the time like "Justice of the Peace." Although this certainly sags a bit toward the end as Hunter tackles the synth-heavy '80s, compared to Legacy's earlier double-disc set Once Bitten Twice Shy this is stronger -- that 2000 comp was heavy on rarities and this provides a better overall portrait of Hunter at his best. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
