Now That's What I Call Quite Good

Now That's What I Call Quite Good was the post-breakup greatest hits album from The Housemartins, released in 1988. As well as singles (such as the UK number one "Caravan of Love"), the compilation includes various album tracks, B-sides and radio session recordings. It includes many humorous liner notes from the band (for example, numerous sales and chart position statistics – but only from New Zealand).
