Default What's wrong...

...with Wrong, that it wasn't included in the Anthology?

A few people have noted its marked absence, and as Macfan4life notes:

Stabbing in the dark here, but one possible reason is that, if I remember correctly, some reviews considered Wrong to be musically derivative of Tusk (the song). Maybe Lindsey took that to heart?


Meanwhile, I think Wait For You is also fairly popular among LB fans, so its absence from the Anthology is another head-scratcher to me. It's not like it was kept off because Mick and John are playing on it--they're playing on lots of his solo releases--including Mick playing drums on Trouble. Again cluthing at straws, but do I remember correctly that the main riff in 'Shuffle Riff' was originated by someone else, like Neale Heywood?


The other thing is that both of these are somewhat dark and angry songs (along with another exclusion, 'This is the Time'), so maybe he wanted to limit that vibe with this collection.
