There were two versions of The Chain--the big original version, which struck me as barely adequate in its coverage of "mid-period" Mac stuff. And then there was the condensed version, which was entirely inadequate, offering only one song from Welch, 1.5 from Kirwan, and one from Spencer.
A great middle-period compilation would be excellent, including any out-takes or unreleased songs. It will never happen.
