Oh it's that yellow ugly Hank Williams 2 CD set of 40 Greatest Hits for me everytime. Somehow it's the perfect combo of songs, great balance, great pacing, great mix. I bought it after watching The Last Picture Show and waiting for the credits so I could see what song was playing on the radio that I was digging. (It was "Why Don't You Love Me")
OH ha! Siouxsie and the Banshees! I just took a tour of Royal Albert Hall. Our excellent tour guide was named Jonquil and she asked if anyone in our group of about eight had been to a show at the Hall before. One guy said he'd been to some charity do with music by I think non-name bands. I said I'd been to a concert by the Scottish band The Blue Nile. Blank stares from all around. Jonquil? Her first show as like a 13 or 14 year girl was Siouxsie and the Banshees! Immediately endearing her to me. It was her first concert ever. I said, "And your first beer!" She said, oh no of course not. Oh well, actually, it might have been at that, she admitted.
They have a photo of Clapton along the hallway and Jonquil said he's a bit of a god there, having played it more often than anyone else. I resisted the urge to say "putz" but thought it and made a sour face, so there's that.
Many, many moons ago, Johnny Ramone was looking for a Canned Heat Hits CD. We had two in the used bins. One was a newly remasterd 20 tracker (or something like that) priced at $7.99, the other was that old, EMI 10 tracker for $8.99. (It had been sitting there for so long, the new edition cost less and we had never lowered the price of the crappy one.) But I digress. He bought the ten tracker for the extra dollar. When I asked why, he said, "I only want these songs."
That ugly yellow Hank you mentioned is great, of course, but it doesn't have "Honky Tonkin'." How the hell is that possible? I have the 20 track LP on Lost Highway, which is in mono and has my perfect tracklist, including "Honky Tonkin'."
