Notes
"With The Best of Matt McGinn my cousin Alex got us (me, Anna, Eleanor, Matt and my Mum) all organized and we all gave him our top 25 or 26 songs from all the ones that were on the Castle Music LPs. He then saw what we had all voted for and came up with the final list of what tracks were to be included. Interestingly, there was quite a variety in what we all voted for, so there were a lot of songs that we like but which weren't included. In the end we only included ones that my Dad had written. On the sleeve notes it says that all songs were written by my Dad except 2, which is a mistake because they were all his."
