Them: The Story Of Them Featuring Van Morrison (Deram)
Jim Irvin, MOJO, January 1998

It's understandable, as said genius, Van Morrison, was the only one who went on to make it big – and took credit for all the original songs – but this collection makes it clear that Them was much more than just a one man show, it was full of fiery musicians and it crackled with energy.
