GNR_RNR Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Also aside from the actual tracks picked (I think it's fine hitting at the hits just could do with the likes of Estranged) the order of the songs sucks. Who puts SCOM as track 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 2 hours ago, GNR_RNR said: This is actually a cool idea. I kinda assumed that it was already available on vinyl. I see they added SOYL and have the reasons: INCLUDES THE BAND’S TOP FIVE HIT “SHADOW OF YOUR LOVE” Why not just whack CD on there too? Hoping that HD footage means we'll get more video re-releases like when the AfD boxset came out. Do I wish there was a new single on there? Yes. I agree. I feel like if they were going to update it slightly they should have just added in CD too (if not Better as well) just for completeness sake.

Stay.Of.Execution Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I don't get why they would rerelease an album that they once tried to prevent from getting released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I figure that they put SOYL in because they could fit it in as it's only 3 minutes long, whereas there wouldn't be space to fit in longer songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT? My World is only 1:24 long! They could have opened with My World and ended with My World! Why must I always correct you, Blackstar, always!?!

Good point. Wouldn’t it have made sense though to wait until after the UYI reissue so that they could also squeeze Ain’t Goin Down on there? Pretty sure that song is also relatively short. Then again, if they wanted to tour in 2020 then I guess they needed to get something out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDemocracyRose Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Well they should at least have put a new track or two on it. Its money grab... Edited July 31, 2020 by TheDemocracyRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troccoli Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 So there are 4 releases that I am aware of: The standard black Picture discs (both of these still available at the gnr online store) A gray, white, and red splatter vinyl from Walmart; can find it on their online store A gold, white, and red platter vinyl available in the UK; here is one site that had it (sold out now): https://www.recordstore.co.uk/recordstore/recordstore/Greatest-Hits-Gold-White-Red-Splatter-Vinyl/6MT90000000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this can be considered or marketed as a "new" release by any stretch, let alone justify a tour. It's just an issue of a previous release in a format that it wasn't released before, and it's aimed at a certain market, that of the audiophiles who buy vinyl records. And since there was space for a song under 3 minutes, they threw SOYL in there. I think it's as simple as that. It wouldn't make much sense in this regard to wait after the UYI reissue and put Ain't Going Down there, because that would be a reissue of GH in all formats, so the "new song" would be on two reissues at the same time.

Yeah I reckon this is probably all it is really, thinking about it It's of very limited interest, and most people will be unaware of it's existence I would imagine. Not a day goes past without labels re-issuing old albums on coloured vinyl to lure people/mugs into buying them again. I think it's just come round to GNR's turn. It's probably as inconsequential as when AFD started appearing on coloured cassettes a while back. Just another quick 'give us your cash' job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
