Only freakin' £3.99!

I listened to it, it was definitely the springboard into buying all their other albums. I don't listen to it any more though.

I play it a lot in the car. The tracks are full length on the vinyl version.

Still give it a listen every now and then. When I want a mix of stuff rather than whole albums.

Not only cos of the choice of tracks, but also the production on the early stuff hasnt ages very well at all.

And they should have kept TBTGOG, DTTR, and FD the song itself and stuck them on Lifeblood.

Its just a glossy piece of crap really.

Totally agree with all of that. perhaps they should have re-recorded the likes of ME and SB for the album. I actually only bought the album to contribute to its chart placing, as I already had all the songs on CD except DTTR.

Lifeblood would have been pretty good with those 3 on as well, bands never do things the way we want though...

and why release a greatest hits when the band is still together??
