24 song Best Of from 1974-1986. “One of the most difficult to categorize musicians in rock, R. Stevie Moore is a true original. Bypassing the traditional recording industry more thoroughly than just about any internationally known singer/songwriter ever has, Moore has self-released literally thousands of songs through The R. Stevie Moore Cassette Club (now online at www.rsteviemoore.com), an ongoing mail-order operation which has hundreds of individually dubbed cassettes and CD-Rs in its catalog. The handful of traditional LPs and CDs Moore has released since 1975 are primarily collections of some of the best songs from those cassettes. Moore's music, a blend of classic pop influences, arty experimentalism, idiosyncratic lyrics, wild stylistic left turns, and homemade rough edges, is one of a kind, but entire generations of lo-fi enthusiasts and indie trailblazers, from Guided By Voices to the Apples in Stereo, owe much to Moore's pioneering in the field.”-AMG. "A collection of low-fi symphonies...with echoes of Harry Nilsson, Ben Folds, Alex Chilton..unsung by all save a small cult, Moore deserves a wider audience. Perhaps this fine release will help him find it." Billboard. “4 stars. R. Stevie Moore is probably the world’s most prolific unknown singer-songwriter, his colossal output representing a victory for creativity over indifference. A sort of bedroom Brian Wilson, for 40 years RSM has crafted complex and elegant pop in a vast array of styles, playing everything himself and releasing the results on an estimated 400 albums, of which 1986’s Glad Music is the most accessible. It’s the source of several tracks, including the cute but complex “Why Should I Love You?” and the psychedelic doowop prog-pop masterpiece “Don’t Let Me Go To The Dogs”. The serpentine melodies and falsetto vocals betray the influence not just of Wilson but also Zappa, whose comedic cynicism informs Moore’s own fiercely independent attitude. “ – The Guardian.
