'It's Bigger Than Both Of Us' is a double CD re-issue of the classic New Zealand indie compilation, with faithfully regenerated artwork from the original album package - and at a special price!
"You can't demolish a good song. This record has 30."
- Colin Hogg
"It's Bigger Than Both Of Us is a collection of what has been but as an alternative to a lot of present packaged pap, it is justified. Those too young to have been there may find a few ideas or at least get some clue as to what the fuss was all about. Those who were around at the time might find it useful as well. Bet you don't own all 30 songs. Reckon I thrashed a good 25 when they let me loose with a transmitter. Good odds."
- Barry Jenkin
"Represented here are some of the fine songs that found their way on to vinyl via the many indies. The scene had the energy of people starting something yet many of the bands never got beyond tentative beginnings - most were only just about to capture their sound in the studio, when oops, they split. Bands such as the Swingers, Newmatics and Marching Girls didn't get the opportunity or didn't bother to record many of their finest songs…Cherish these songs - some of the master tapes may be missing but at least the good riddums, sentiments and rhymes are here preserved."
- Murray Cammick
