Get _New River Head_ if you can.  If you want a good overview of many
periods of the Frond's output then you can't really go wrong with _Live
at the Great American Music Hall_ (obHW: feat. Ade Shaw on the bass). (I
got a new appreciation of _Son of Walter_ through the live versions...)
The odds 'n' sods collection, _A Gathering of Fronds_, is also highly
recommended.

All this is IMHO!

Cheers,

Paul.
