Review by Richie Unterberger
Music To Climb The Apple Tree By was originally released as one of the seven CDs in the 2002 Beat Happening box set Crashing Through, but was not made available for sale separately until the following year. Gathering material from 1984-2000, it has odds and ends from singles and compilations, including the 45 versions of "Nancy Sin" and "Look Around," as well as four tracks from the EP the band did with The Screaming Trees. It's a good service for fans who might already have all of the five Beat Happening albums (which were also in Crashing Through) but don't want to get the box set just for the disc with rarer stuff, although it would have been an even better service had it been issued simultaneously with the set. Read More
