A kindly reminder for those that forgot. A 'best of' compilation of The Libertines, featuring a rarity, a b-side and an attempt to gloss over the fact that The Libertines was a hackjob, is to be released next month (October 29). It will be titled 'Time For Heroes - The Best Of The Libertines'. Cover pictured.
Tracklisting:
'Up The Bracket'
'Time For Heroes'
'Mayday'
'Don't Look Back Into The Sun'
'Tell The King'
'What Katie Did'
'Can't Stand Me Now'
'What A Waster'
'The Delaney'
'Boys In The Band'
'Death On The Stairs'
'I Get Along'
'What Became Of The Likely Lads'
Nice. Nothing else needs to be added.
"libertines record best of"
saying so to some means nothing, and to others leaves nothing to be said
Mayday
What a strange choice
ie what a load
of shite
...
Hilarious.
by b-sides..
they mean babyshambles songs, yeah?
fuckwank.
yep, the only word i can think of to sum this up.
fuckwank.
The Good Old Days?
The Man Who Would Be King?
Music when the lights go out?
No, instead they've put What A Waster and What Katie Did on there.
lolwtf?
What's wrong with What A Waster?
Personally, I'd take I Get Along out of there straight away
Also, the fact that they're releasing this is rather hilarious. I'm thinking both Pete and Carl must be pretty skint right about now
Best of 2 Albums
thats it, two albums, one Ep and you release a best of, but put a b side on it? WFT?
Go buy both albums, get them delivered and it'll only set you back £15 on play
Alternatively
Don't go buy either album and spend your £15 on something worthwhile instead. Crack, perhaps.
un-fucking -believable
the first album has a few decent enough tunes on it but what kind of bellend needs a best-of comilation from a band who only released 2 fucking albums?!
a total waste of time, money and my anger.
Obvious
It was obvoiusly going to happen though just so they could get "Don't Look Back" and "What A Waster" on an album
It might have an interesting cover?
Otherwise, apart from the curious kid in 10 years, this is ........
clearly they've all run out of money
as their solo projects were so shite.
Oooh,
I wonder if it'll be the Mick Jones or Bernard Butler versions of 'Don't Look Back...' and 'Death On The Stairs'?!?! How exciting!
Seriously though, there's no reason for this at all is there, except the previously mentioned poverty in which Pete and Carl now reside. 'What Katie Did' is the strangest choice for me, and I'd put 'Horrorshow' and 'Vertigo' in there (and take out 'I Get Along' and 'Boys In The Band') among others, but it's a best of, so memorable singalongs and hits are the order of the day. Nice!
Excellent user-name
Hey
Big Star put out a best of featuring their first two albums. None of you complained about that, did you? Eh? Eh?
I thought Big Star
just have the first 2 albums on one CD?
natalie
imbruglia just did this...
She had
3 albums out I think
And I would.
sigh
i can add nothing new to this discussion.
sometimes i just despair at music.
this probably isn't the band's decision
in the interest of balanced comment, bear in mind that the band's contract will allow their label to release a best of if they (the label) so desire. it's not indicative of poverty on the part of either band member, they may wll not even have had the right to approve the tracklisting.
i'm not a rabid fan, leaping to their defence, but they were a better band than most of the dross they seem to have spawned, and which is now dominating the indie-discos and charts of this green and pleasant isle.
cheerio
i think i'll just stick £10 up my arse instead.
more rewarding.
This is pretty weak
That'll leave shitloads of time on the disc as well. No value at all.
Will keep the tenner, leave the ass insertion to the professionals.
Good point
Why not just fill up the CD with everything good they ever did? Then people may actually see value in the purchase.
Something like
Greenday / Blur greatest hits
Just cram it all in!!
bwahahaha
Well reading that was certainly a good laugh.
Maybe now
The Sex Pistols can release a 'Best of' album...
particularly horrifying
is the lack of a second apostrophe in the title. i'm gonna get nightmares about this.
Might as well
buy Up the Bracket because that is the best of The Libertines.
.
I think they need the monies.
