Released at the end of 2001 in a signed and numbered limited edition of 500 copies, this was not intended as any particular sort of "Best of Kokomo", but rather a way to mark our 10th anniversary by cleaning out the vaults.
Blues And Beyond is a mixture of some new recordings, some alternative versions, and a few bits 'n' bobs that got lost along the way. Three are from the now-unavailable Stromboling, two from a very obscure Bay Of Plenty compilation, Picture This, and one (Nowhere To Go) from a short film that never got made. Others are either different versions from the official releases or new.
