1: Where Did Our Love Go - Live: 2: Floyd’s Hotel: 3: I’m Not Rough: 4: I Don’t Need You No More: 5: Floyds. The bands first big hit 'Love Stinks,' a rant against unrequited. The fact that Love Stinks was not as good as Freeze-Frame wasnt enough to put me off from exploring the bands earlier works and, again with Sanctuary, I took a single step into their past.I no longer doubt that the J Geils Band always fostered a tongue-in-cheek pop sensibility and an ability to not take themselves or their music too seriously - this album is testament to that.
