On the yellow self-titled CD, which tracks actually made up the original LP release? My impression on first listening to it (yes, I'm a fake indie-rocker; I hadn't heard BH until now) is that about half is great and half is nearly awful.

The original track listing goes:

Side A 1) Foggy Eyes 2) Bad Seeds 3) I Let Him Get To Me 4) I Spy 5) Run Down The Stairs

Side B 1) In Love With You Thing 2) I Love You 3) Down At The Sea 4) Fourteen 5) Bad Seeds (Live)

before long the nearly awful will become very very great, especially christmas.

Unfortunately on some levels "before long" = "when you buy the other records" -- the meat of the Beat Happening catalog is in You Turn Me On, Black Candy, and Jamboree, with that first record as ... let's say as a lovely sidenote.

Actually, "Christmas" was one of the first songs I *liked*. The responses are appreciated, though.
