Misunderstood is the greatist thing to hit the earth since super man landed here and the aliens landed in Roswalt New Mexico. It is so good I even sing it in my sleep. I even dressed my dog up so he looked exactly like Peter.

With a title lifted from a line from the album`s third track, this best-of collectionrepresents what Pete obviously likes the best out of his collection.Most of the tracks sound quite clear, especially the songs from Rough Mix (1977) and Who Came First (1972).The mix of "Slit Skirts" is slightly different at the end, as is the end of "A Friend is a Friend.""Uneasy Street" is a previously unreleased outtake from Psychoderelict, and has some great Pete vocals.The "e.cola" mix of Let My Love Open The Door is almost twice as long as the original,and has been slowed down in tempo to create a very light and airy track.Many fans have differing opinions on what tracks should have been included, but nonetheless the compilation is a fine release.The liner notes are from a conversation with Pete, which finally gives some insight as to what the hell Pete`s thinking about....Best parts: From Slit Skirts to Uneasy Street (IMHO)Jason Hare

They should have released a 4 CD box set instead of just 1 CD. That's how much great solo material Pete has created. This is why Pete needs to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist.
