Very Best Of 1998 vs 2003

Lizziebaby · 27 Mar 2004, 23:25

I finally got round to buying 'Very Best Of' on CD today, as my original tape is wearing a bit thin now, but it was only when I got it home that I realised the tracks were in a completely different order to my tape version!

On closer inspection, I found that I had bought a 2003 compilation, whereas the tape I had was from 1998. Even though all the songs are still there, I can't help thinking that they are now in the wrong order...should Nocturnal Pleasures be separated from Dead Ringer? I also found it disappointing to find BOOH as the first track on CD1 for some reason..(logic never was my stong point)

Anyone know why the order was changed? I apologise profusely if this subject has been covered already!

I know strictly speaking they are both the same, but all in all, I think I prefer 'Very Best Of' from 1998. I think a trip to Amazon is in order!

i dunno why the order was changed, cause it has, i seen the listings somewhere else before too! rather odd, eh?

i own THE VERY BEST OF 1998, and it has some really awesome songs, if you ask me, its not THE very best of, but all the songs on there are ACE! But some could have left and gone, and if there truely was a very best of, it would be a 6CD set

after Bat III, I think Meat should have an album of what are his favourite songs, and maybe RErecord them, i dunno, just a thought.
