Limited blue vinyl LP pressing including poster. Recorded between 1979 and 1981 and originally released in 1983 this hugely rewarding record acted as a roundup of the group's career to date and was of immeasurable value to fans. It's aged well, too. Comprising of a and B sides from their Rough Trade released singles plus extracts from sessions for Radio 1, Capital Radio and EMI Records, this LP contains unique versions of such classic tracks as 'The Jet Set Junta' and 'He's Frank (Slight Return)'. Oddities, and jocular moments run through the album, including John Peel introducing 'Fat Fun' and thinking aloud that those Monochrome boys might be having a pop at him. The fact that it includes a wish list of the band's best songs to this point in their career is another reason to recommend it. This 1983 compilation is a front-to-back joy, fast, restless and perfectly sequenced. It plays like a cohesive album.

Tracks:
1.1 Eine Symphonie Des Grauens
1.2 Jet Set Junta
1.3 Love Zombies
1.4 Silicon Carne

Great upgrade for a rental apartment mattress
The mattress in my rental place is firm to the point where it almost feels unfinished. Instead of replacing it, I decided to try adding this topper. It made an immediate difference in the way the bed feels when I sit or lie down. There’s a nice cushioned layer that softens that “flat” feeling but still holds its shape. Another thing I noticed is how breathable it is. I expected thick padding to feel warm, but the airflow here feels better than the original mattress surface. Even after moving around, it never felt heavy or stuffy.

Soft and Comfortable Topper
I got this bamboo mattress topper for a small single bed we keep in our guest room, but I ended up testing it out myself first. The material feels soft and breathable, which is nice because that room can get a little warm in the afternoons. It adds a good amount of cushioning without making the bed too soft. After a couple of nights, my back actually felt better compared to the old mattress alone. I also appreciate that it’s machine washable, because our guest room sometimes doubles as a nap spot for my son after swim class, and spills happen. It dried pretty quickly in the dryer and kept its shape. Overall, it made the bed feel much more comfortable and fresh.

Added comfort for someone working night shifts
I work odd hours, so my sleep schedule is all over the place. My mattress has always felt a bit too stiff after long shifts, so I got this topper hoping it would help me relax faster. It really changed the overall feel of the bed. The padding has a cushioned lift that makes lying down feel smoother, especially around the shoulders and lower back. Instead of feeling like I’m dropping onto a firm surface, there’s a soft layer that evens out the pressure. What surprised me most is how light the surface feels. Even after staying in one position, it never gets stuffy or heavy. The airflow makes a difference when your body is trying to wind down after work. The fitted pocket also stays tight around the mattress, so nothing shifts when I move. I can stretch out without worrying about the topper sliding off.

Good option for softening a college apartment bed
I moved into a college apartment where the bed felt like it belonged in a dorm from years ago—flat and stiff. Instead of dealing with it, I tried this topper, and it added a cushiony layer right away. The surface feels much more forgiving when I fall onto the bed after studying or hanging out with friends. It has just enough padding to take away that board-like feeling without making the bed sag. Another thing I noticed is how breathable it is. I expected something this thick to feel warm, but it actually stays cool even if I stay on one side for a long stretch.

Makes an older family mattress feel brand new
There’s an older mattress in my place that everyone avoids because it feels too worn in the middle. Instead of replacing it, I decided to give this topper a shot. Once it settled on the bed, it added a thick cushioned layer that helped level out the whole surface. Lying down feels smoother, and the middle no longer dips the way it used to. The fabric feels cool when you touch it, and it keeps that same feel even after staying on it for a while. I thought a thick topper might hold warmth, but this one keeps the air moving enough that the bed stays comfortable throughout the night.
