Nope. It was just something Ginger said when he was interviewed by Teletext, although it wasn't part of the original interview...

yeah thats the one sorry, was typing fast before going to work

No-one really knows yet other than its probably a re-issue as the lable its coming out on is known for its rather classy re-issues (The Ramones Anthology which came out with a rather classy book and If You Ain't Got a Weapon which was the 3 Colours Red one with sleeve otes by Pete), I usually hate asking bands about releases that are forthcoming as it always feels really nosey to me but if I get chance on friday I'm gonna ask Big Red if he knows anything about it.

I think the 3CR anthology wasn't on Rhino, but Ramones definitely was, as well as many other tasteful box sets and reissues (Black Sabbath - Black Box f.ex., beautiful).
I wonder, however, how The Wildhearts fit into the Rhino roster. The WB-connection is there, I just wouldn't have thought that Rhino would issue an anthology of a band that has hardly more than a small cult following in the US.

Ooh, goodie, another chance to play with my new screengrabber...

Link works today only.

This - 12 track download soon, 15 track cd in the summer - is fine as long as the download is hypercheap/free. I absolutely refuse to pander to buying the same album (ish) twice simply to have it earlier, as I imagine most people do, especially if one is MP3 files that I could just rip myself. A few bands have done this and fleeced those fans who are desperate for the music as soon as possible. I hate to say it, but I'm going to be a misery guts, and if the band are charging for the download I might just have to wait it out, or listen to it some other way...

Do what everyone else'll do then, and get it from emusic legally for nothing. You won't have to pay, but the band'll still get paid.

Well, yeah, that's what I'll do. I have an emusic account, but it still galls me that I'll be paying for it twice. Maybe I'm just poorer than I used to be. Now, if there were bonus, download-only tracks as well we'd be talking.

Ah, no, see, I meant sign up and use your free download quota to get it, then cancel the account - the band will still get paid as it's emusic's offer.

My mate's done it three or four times, you just need to get yourself another email address to do it if you're already signed up.
