he could treat a double disc like this... 4 parts like the old double vinyl

disc 1
side 1
a smattering of hits like wdc,pr,rasp b,etc.
side 2
a smattering of b sides like,erotic city,she's alway's ,17 day's etc.

disc 2
side 3
a smattering of instrumentals,maybe north,xpectation,madhouse 6 etc.
side 4
a smattering of up 2 date stuff,maybe muse 2 the phaoroh,1+1+1 is 3,a case of u,avalanche,family name etc.

it would certainly b definitive no ?

call It's Prince for you, Daniel.
He wants to know what 'smattering' means.

lol It was Prince who wanted to know, not myself. I am fully tooled up with Glesga patter and ready to launch unscrupiously.
Great to see fellow Bunnyfans out there though. You going to see them at the Barrowlands?

what would probably be a good cd set is a 3 or 4 disc of his best stuff over his career done live. The perfect renditions of live performances is something I would paid good money for. Not everyone has bootlegs!!

Doesn't matter what would be on it. You'd still have everybody complaining at the Org.

Ya know what - it is an impossible task to do. Currently listening to the Controversy LP and bopping along nicely to Private Joy, sometimes you forget how good some of these gems are. Whatever mood you are in there is always something that matches or can turn you around.
In the distance a light shines and I know it is mine. Someday I will touch it because it calls me. It says cross the line, cross the line. I know everything is not always what it seems, so I pinch myself daily just in case it's a dream

that's true.

I think the list that i made would be most fluent because it features all the most known tracks & singles,that's the only way ur gonna reach the public.

Yeah, but u don't have the any instrumental tunes on there. With your list I would be dancing my ass off for the first 35 songs,, by then I would be sick of hearing his voice. nod
