That Little Angry Guy from the Rarities Album

For all you Gen Xers who remember owning the Rarities album (DGC Rarities Vol.1) I snapped this picture for you while I was at Pike Place Market in Seattle....

At The Great Wind-Up toy store at Pike Place Market in Seattle, this is the table where you get to sample the toys...

When I would listen to this album in my room as a teenager, I'm not sure if I knew what a capture of the zeitgeist this was of the music of that era - it was recorded between 1990-1994.


Below is a copy and paste of the songs on the album - thanks, Wikipedia.  The American edition was different from the British one.   The first list of songs were played from my stereo near the end of my high school days....
