This digital bootleg, with borrowed artwork, has been cleaned up by MRML to avoid ANY overlap with Boston punk/ska/metal band The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' surprisingly-brief rarities collection, Medium Rare. (As a result of these edits, the numbering detailed below will be waaay off, which will effect the fine music that is left not a whit!) (For more Bosstones on MRML go here.)

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones odd-ball stew of 2-Tone ska, Boston HxCx and seventies hard rock didn't always suit everyone's taste but the band really grew throughout the nineties as song-writers and performers and were a surprise, if short-lived entry into the pop charts in the 1997 with "The Impression That I Get".
This 1994 single shows off Dicky Barret's, whose throaty bellow can divide listeners, increasing lyrical sharpness and the band's ability to arrange a song to life.
Whaddya make of these here Bosstones? Leave us a comment
