I havebeen looking at some of the ideas, and i think Going from 1978-2005 over three cd's would be best rather thenn mixing them up, i was thinking of making it

Disc 1- 1978-1984(Closing with 40)
Disc 2- 1987-1993(Opening with Streets)
Disc 3- 1995-2005

That would give each disc, 4 albums to make it up, plus other work done in that time, eg. Early Demos(78-79 eg. The Fool , and any side side projects(eg Tha Hands That Built America) or non album singles(eg Electrical storm), what do people think?

I wish you would have told me this earlier, because this is what i tried to do, only having to put 40 on cd three kind of messed it up

O well

 

[gareth brown]

The only thing from Lovetown i got is the New Years day midnight concert, i love that.

GOOD. I'm listening to that now. Use 'Streets' as your opener. Makes me go COLD, dammit!

Why not Passengers?

Any opinions

 

[ponkine]

I don´t know my friend missing standouts like Seconds, Running To Stand Still, All I Want Is You, Mysterious Ways, Even Better Than The Real Thing, Mofo, etc, etc

Also there´s too much non-essential stuff as The Fool, Lost On A Silent Planet, Party Girl, The Refugee, Red Hill Minning Town, The Hands That Built America (IMO their worst ever ballad), Fast Cars and Mercy.

If I were you, I´d try again

Peace

 

[Irishteen]

Thats in your opinion but i love The Fool, Lost on a silent planet, Party Girl, The Refugee, Red Mining Town, The Hands that built America, Fast Cars and Mercy.
