I want my hits to be time tested and listener approaved, not picked out for me by a record producer. If your old hits can't sell themselves without fake new bonus hits then maybe you shouldnt be putting out a greatest hits cd in the first place.
Wow I sound old and crotchity, excuse me while I pull my pants up to my nipples and shake my fist at children.
Why? Why would all the die hard fans want to buy a greatest hits album when they have all the other albums anyway? Its an obvious move to sell the album to more people than casual fans. If I like someone I wouldn't wait for their greatest hits album I would buy the other albums as do most people.
