    Sunday Best is the band's own private "best of" album. Why didn't they let me pick 'em? They picked a rare gem like "Pick Up Your Cross" from an old Pakaderm compilation, the B-side of "Awful Dreadful Snake," and added a live version of "C'mon Everyone," but overall this album doesn't do this great band justice. Why a song like "Preacher and the Bear" is here and "Coffee Can" or "The Lion's Den" aren't is indeed a "Sweet Mystery." The best part is probably the liner notes on each song included. A collector's item for fans, for sure; but a true best of it ain't. Available from Rad Rockers (see their full page ad in this issue for ordering info).
