The track will receive its first play during Jo Whiley's show on Radio 2 this evening. Was a big fan of The Kooks 2005-2008 but hadn't really listened to much of them since then so it'll be good to hear it all again! This post has been edited by lewistgreen: Mar 31 2017, 11:32 AM

For instance, I thought it was odd when Keane released a Greatest Hits collection, yet I found myself enjoying a lot more than just the obvious two hits.

QUOTE(Steve201 @ Mar 30 2017, 11:11 PM) Enjoy the Kooks but they have been away too long - when was their last album - 2011? Radio 2 premiere means it may not be played much on radio 1! Surprisingly, they had two top 40 singles in 2014, and an album around the same time.

Having said that, this is actually a pretty decent track listing, aside from the omission of the brilliant 'Around Town' - why would they leave that out when it went Top 40, but include the two follow up singles which didn't chart?

Hello? Joined: 8 March 2006 Posts: 83,022 User: 116	I'd have liked to see Are We Electric on here, but other than that it's a strong tracklisting and I'll probably stream it on the week of release. I don't really think they ever bettered or even matched the 1-2 punch of Naive/She Moves In Her Own Way mind.
