For those who don't want to buy them as individual expensive import LP, one can but the three separate 2001 Ride retrospective LPs. OX4: Best of Ride, Firing Blanks: Unreleased Ride Recordings 1988-1995 and Ride Live: Reading Festival 1992 put together in a box with a nice big booklet. Yeah! It's enough to kick off a shoegaze/dreampop revival! Don't laugh, the four members of Ride already reunited recently to do a jam session for a British TV show-an absurd tease, admittedly, but we'd love to see them do a full-on reunion tour! A live set of songs from disc/LP one here, OX4: Best of Ride, would be just great, please!
Pricey import box sets are always hard to recommend. But this is cheap as those go, and musically, it's just dynamite. Jamming on TV in 2001? If you can do that, boys, and get along again (the deterioration in this department is what killed 'em in the end, circa their final, just awful LP we've all tried to forget, 1996's Tarantula-an LP Ride has also tried to forget, judging from its near total exclusion here!), why not get back out there and play? It sure beats Bell wasting his time, if not his purse, bassing, not guitaring (for chrissakes) for Oasis, that's for sure! ~ Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover, All Music Guide
