This rarities compilation has lost much of its appeal since it came out, as most of the cuts have been reissued several times on various import and domestic Standells [+] compilations.
Not only that, these tracks were in general well below the standard of their best stuff, with exceptions like "Riot on Sunset Strip" and "Rari." The only reason to seek this out is the inclusion of three tracks from rare mid-'60s Vee Jay singles that are otherwise hard to come by.

George's offbeat sense of humor and surreal lyrics became a Little Feat trademark, making songs like "Fat Man in the Bathtub" and "Dixie Chicken" unforgettable.
Rock and Roll Doctor explores the genius that animated Little Feat--from George's early bands The Standells and Garage, to his work with Frank Zappa, landmark albums such as Feats Don't Fail Me Now and The Last Record Album, and his later production work with Linda Ronstadt and the Grateful Dead.
George's colorful childhood (he lived next door to Hollywood idol Errol Flynn) is covered in depth--as is his solo career after Little Feat that was cut short tragically--but most of this book portrays his highly productive period with this great rock and roll band.
