this 3 disc version of George Michael's "Twenty-Five" wouldn't it have been a better idea to put a bunch of rare stuff on the third disc rather than loading the entire project up with a bunch of album tracks?

just wondering. I noticed that...seemed strange. I looked and noticed a lot of the songs are from his last album and thought i wasn't missing much at all (I didn't care for a lot of that stuff and frankly, if I buy "25", I'll ditch that album altogther). | |

just wondering. That's what i've been sayin'. Not 2 mention most of those songs are already on his superb Ladies & Gentelmen collection so why ruin it now? The 25 anniversary gift should've been a surprise for his fans (B-sides/Unreleased tracks/Demos/Remixes/Live tracks/Bonus tracks). His lable sure rushed this project | |

His lable sure rushed this project I don't think they rushed anything....I think this is for all the people who didn't buy "Ladies And Gentlemen"....I assume this was meant to capatilize on the success of his tour. I also assume that they didn't think there would be more scandals for George so close to this release (which is funny because "Ladies and Gentlemen" came out not long after he was in the restroom and came out). All that stuff is too much trouble and doesn't attract the causal fans, which is what they want....hardcore fans will buy it none the less. Seems to soon to "replace" "Ladies and Gentlemen", but that appears to be what's happening. | |

It's funny how these discs have titles/suggestions just like L&G did. For the loyal I think is the 3rd disc....I think they are loyal enough to have the albums, for Christs sake! In a world of Itunes, you really have to offer fans more if you are going to release a greatest hits this ambitious. If it was something like "George Micheal Gold", like they release for many different artists, you can just make it for causal fans only but this is pretty bad. | |

I'm just curious about the new song Understand on disc 3.
But I'm sure gonna buy the DVD collection because I never bought the L&G DVD and now I'm glad I didn't buy it,this new collection also has the latest clips. 
L&G Cd is the best compilation evr IMO,one can listen 2 it like a regular album and the running order is great!But I'll buy 25 soon because my L&G is damaged...just played it 2 much  Love4oneanother | |
