Collectible Spoons

Collectible Spoons is a greatest hits collection by the Canadian new wave band Spoons. It includes material from their first four albums on Ready Records (including a couple of tracks from their lesser-known debut album Stick Figure Neighbourhood), but ignores the next two (much more guitar-driven) albums, Bridges Over Borders and Vertigo Tango on Anthem Records. This CD is now out-of-print.
