Complete b-sides collection, please.
In the age of downloading this is perhaps a minority position, but I would love to see a complete b-sides collection split over three discs. It's kind of a drag to have to track down individual singles on auction or download low-quality mp3:s. So many great b-sides, groundhog days, askew road, failure bound, hanging on, etc. I would love to have them on the same CD. I think such a collection would be a lot more relevant than national treasures.
Wire, are you reading this?

It'd have to be more than three discs.
And if they did this, they'd get my NT box thrown at them at the next gig. Wire, are you reading this? |

Agree completely, I can't even find them all to download!

The problem is you download one and then it changes.

Seriously, they should do this. Limit it to about 100 though, I can't see many more people forking out for all of their extra stuff than a dedicated few.

I'd rather the albums were reissued with the b-sides as extra tracks like Bowie's Rykodisc reissues. But then, some people would have a problem about extra stuff after an album. I'm aware it'll still mean the reissues will be 2CD probably.

does anyone have any idea on the sales figures for National Treasures? not the shitty box, just the 2 CD or 2 CD + DVD version. i suspect that we only got Lipstick Traces because Forever Delayed sold well - if NT was a bomb, then there's no chance of a further compilation to cash in.

They already did that in Japan. You won't get better than that over here.

Personally, I can't stand compilations/greatest hits if all the tracks are previously released.
It's not *that* impossible to get copies of all the songs.. It may take a while, sure, but not impossible (or even expensive, just look on amazon/ebay..) IMO another "Lipstick Traces" type compilation would just mean less creativity from the band for another year.. Saying that though, I'm really looking forward to hearing the unreleased demos/whatever else on the upcoming Generation Terrorists re-issue! |

I do have 'a version' of what your asking for split over 5 discs at mp3 quality so in a true audio losless format it would be a hunky amount of discs
Not sure if I can mentioned where you can 'find' said collection - not sure what the p2p rules are on here? Obviously on here we are all 'true' fans and own the cds so its not like p2p links will have much negative impact on sales, plus the singles have been deleted now anyway...if ok to post then i will |

My mate Dean from the internets, who thinks he is so disco, had a nice b-sides collection at one point but it seems he lost it recently. Think he's found some of the more recent stuff but he's still looking for the majority of it. Sound fella is Dean.
