It pulls from across their eight studio albums, including the game-changing 2003 debut Permission To Land, right through to their latest chartbusting, critically acclaimed Dreams On Toast, which soared to No.2 in the UK Official Albums Chart in 2025, as well as featuring their festive smash hit single ‘Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End)’.

Announcing the record Justin Hawkins says, “Listen upon our works ye mighty and rejoice! ‘Crock of Hits’ will startle you. Hold you as you tremble.
