I actually like the tracklist a lot. Oh Diane and Honey Hi are questionable inclusions, but there's always going to be a few songs in a mix that I think that of, and I like that it's not completely predictable. Closing with the Planets demo is an inspired choice. And I still love the cover. I hope I'm able to track down a copy sometime soon.  |
I have no problem with the existing track list although I firmly refuse to pay for repackages of stuff I already have. I think throwing in the EP tracks would have freshened this up and been a way to get "new" material in the ears of the public. As for the blend of different styles, as it is, the tracks on this album reflect a range of eras and a range of "sounds" of FM.
