Ok the track listing from others is slightly different and the inclusion of videos is a nice touch but haven't the record companies yet had their fair share of exploiting the groups back catalogue.
Trust me I'm a massive fan of The Pogues throughout all of their long and successful career however???
Phil there are some great tracks on there, but....
Nowt to do with me mate. The record company decides to do a comp, we have two choices. Ignore it and resent the track listing for decades thereafter, or get involved and at least have some say in the final package. What we don't get to choose is whether or NOT there's a new compilation. But business being what it is, it does seem extremely unlikely that the record company are not responding to some kind of market demand. You just have to figure, correctly, I think, that you are not personally perceived to be part of that market. And now that record stores are all but a thing of the past, do I know more about marketing Pogues music than Mr Rhino and the Brothers Warner? No, I do not.
