Default 25 Years ago:The Chain

I'm sure that this has been up before, but it's hard to believe that it is 25 years since The Chain Boxes set came out in 1992.
Any memories of getting it,first impressions, favourite tracks etc?
I'll star with mine.
Remember going into my local record store in early December and the owner telling me that it had come in and she had pat it aside for me.Thrilled! Couldn't wait to get home and play it.
LOVED -and still love- Paper Doll,Love Shines,Heart of Stone, exetended Gypsy and (for me) my first Silver Springs. HATED Make me a Mask,Teen Beat etc!
Couldn't figure out the non chronological order of the tracklisting or why there were so few unreleased live tracks. Not sure about the blues material, but as it was 25 years I guess they had to include them.
Booklet was disappointing : too many pics and not enough text. Obviously little imput from the band, which is not surprising given the fragmented state it was in at the time.
How was it for you?
