The Best of Morphine, 1992-1995 chronicles the bands first four albums: Good, Cure For Pain, Yes, and B-sides and Otherwise, and includes two previously unreleased tracks: “Pretty Face”, a dark atmospheric ballad recorded live in one take at Morphine’s studio in Cambridge, MA, and “Jack And Tina”, described by Morphine drummer Billy Conway as “the most beautiful bridge Mark Sandman ever wrote.” The B-side of the long-out-of-print 1000-piece pressing of “Cure For Pain” on 7" vinyl called “Sexy Christmas Baby Mine” (1993) rounds out the adventure through Morphine musical history.

The CD is enhanced with a video of the song “Shame”, recorded at the Masquerade in Atlanta. (Warning, it's 29MB, Quicktime format)
