NO CELEBRITY (BOX SET)
2004
After the ten year reunion show, it felt as though the Amoebas story had reached a logical end. With that in mind, Chris took what reflective nostalgia that show had imbued him with and compiled this massive, three disc, career-spanning retrospective.
Featuring alternate versions, live takes, remixes and remasters, demos, and outtakes, plus extensive liner notes, this was a labor of love for sure. Funny that the story didn't end there, though....
