Howdy folks. I was wondering if anyone here has a copy of this second singles collection on CD. I purchased mine a few months ago while casually shopping at a Canadian Walmart. Since I thoroughly enjoyed 'The Singles 1969-1981', I didn't hesitate to pick up 'The Singles 1974-1978'. However, upon opening the package, I was disappointed to find there were no liner notes, pictures, remastering (understandable since it was an old title), and some of their newer songs I hadn't heard before didn't quite match their earlier work.
With that said, I was wondering what you guys think/thought of this collection? Did Richard provide any special touches like he did to the first collection?
Since there's a thread dedicated to the much superior 'The Singles 1969-1973', I thought this second collection deserved a little pat on the back as well. Sure, it wasn't as great compared to the first collection, however, it's very rare for any artist to put out a second greatest hits collection that matches their first in terms of quality and sales (eg. In the U.S., Madonna's 2001 'GHV2' sold 1/10th the amount of her 1990 release 'The Immaculate Collection'.)
