Why?!?!?

Why do "Color Me Badd" have a greatest hits album? How many hits did that steaming pile of sh!t have?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/e...05-4402268

I'm just in a state of shock. Do you have to have any hits to warrant a Greatest Hits these days?

Pah, it wasn't like that in my day.

Oops, sorry wrong forum, but anyway, you get the idea.

Color Me Badd? Eh?!

Seems like a new trick from record companies to gain money without paying for anything. No studio time, no technicians to be paid, no producers. Ok, sometimes they spend some bucks for the remastering and compilation of the song. Wow!

But if run out of songs, it will give you some income for your family. So pls. don't blame the Artist this time wink
They can't decide against it anyway.

Spandau Ballet (You remember the song "True") have four different configurations of greatest hits albums and they only had one hit as far as I know.

This is a serious issue!
There's a gun control lobby,
maybe there should be a
Inane and unnecessary CD release lobby.

Or perhaps I could sue the ass off 'em
under the trade descriptions act.
