"The Early Late Unicorn" kicks off with Unicorn's swan song – the legendary Shed Sessions of '77-'78. Picture this: a garden shed transformed into a recording studio, where musical magic happened even as punk was busy pogoing all over the charts. It's like the band said, "If we're going out, we're going out in style... and in a shed."

Ken Baker, Unicorn's songwriting wizard, proves he could pen a catchy tune faster than you can say "missed opportunity." From the heartstring-tugging "Open Books" to the reggae-tinged "Can't Stop Thinking About You," it's a masterclass in what-could-have-been pop perfection.

But wait! Just when you think it's all over, we hit the rewind button. Suddenly, you're transported back to 1967-69, grooving with The Late (Unicorn's previous incarnation, because why be on time when you can be awesome?). It's raw, it's fresh, it's Unicorn before they even knew they were magical.

And for the grand finale? A cherry on top of this time-warped sundae – a live version of "Weekend" from 1975, catching Unicorn at their peak. It's the perfect bridge between their early days and shed-bound swan song.

"The Early Late Unicorn" is both a perfect introduction for newcomers and a treasure trove for long-time fans, proving that Unicorn's magic never fades – it just gets better in reverse.
