Thanks for reminding me of that interview.
I usually avoid those compilations. This is the only one I ever bought because I expected it to include alternate versions that had only been released on the vinyl singles before. Now I know that it's just a cheap compilation with a highly deceptive cover / booklet.
(By the way, in the interview, he says he wasn't born in 1947 but 1951.

15 years ago, his year of birth was 1951, now it's 1947 - maybe ten years from now he'll tell everybody that he was born in 1943?
