Nervous On The Road and Silver Pistol were the two albums I really wanted from this set, but all of the albums are worth having. The Rolling Stone Record Guide (2nd edition 1983) actually called Despite It All "...perhaps the best country-influenced rock LP ever made." I'm not sure I'd go that far but it is a very good album. The only thing that could make this set better would be the inclusion of their final (sixth) album, The New Favorites of Brinsley Schwarz. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maybe he was trying too hard to sound like a laid-back California roots rocker *by J***H on May 31, 2017* I purchased this collection to hear more in-depth what pub rock was all about, and to get a taste of early Nick Lowe. There are fewer pop hooks mixed into the countrified pub sounds than one might have expected, given the Lowe connection. Maybe he was trying too hard to sound like a laid-back California roots rocker. There's a lot of musical talent gathered with singer-songwriter-bassist Lowe, guitarist Schwarz, keyboardist Bob Andrews, and guitarist Ian Gomm, who shows up on the later albums and contributes some nice songs, as well. Taken together, these five albums probably will not jump up and grab the listener, but they likely will wear well over time and repeated listening. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/30983455-original-album-series](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/30983455-original-album-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
