and others mayn't advertise too visibly they're live recordings, sometimes from the same, sometimes from a different decade to the original album's release date. . .

Yeah I know, I remember them when they were "new" out, they were all over the place in all manner of shops! The Marley one isn't bad actually, they are early recordings I think and some of them are pretty decent.

I have a Troggs best of on the "Fat Boy" label (it's on the site) which is another one of that ilk, all later recordings and in places quite terrible (though with one or two highlights I suppose).

Fortunately the only place I tend to buy CDs these days is in charity shops so if something turns out to be duff it's only 50p or a quid that I've wasted, and in the worst cases they can just go straight back whence they came!

I haven't added the Bob Marley one yet, I forgot, I will get to it...
