| I know people have been talking about a Frank Black live album but I think a B-Sides album would be a much better idea. I know there is oddballs but its only got a few of the b-sides on it doesn't even have Amnesia (which I cant find anywhere) and unless your American its quite an effort to get hold of. So I reckon they should put out a comprehensive B-Sides album from the first album up to the Dits B-sides. Anybody with me? |

| That would be great but I'd rather see all deluxe re-issues with bonus discs of b-sides and demos and live tracks, and liner notes by Black-just like all the Costello albums that have been coming out on Rhino. |

| I wonder, if we can get enough people wanting this maybe someone will notice and put one out. |

I agree on a comprehensive b-sides album, that would be great. You could make it chronological with liner notes and everything.
However, i'm not a big fan of re-issued albums with b-sides and bonus track tacked on. How many times have I bought an album, and then 3 years later this deluxe super edition b-side double disc version of it comes out. I mean, there are a few albums where I would re-buy it, but most of the time I just get upset. Sometimes I can't even figure out how much I like an album because I'm not sure what songs are b-sides and what songs were originally on it. It's great if you don't have the original album, but if you do you get ripped off. I think when Rhino and companies like that release super editions, they should also release discs with just the compiled b-sides on the side, so fans don't have to re-buy all 10 albums to get the collected bonus tracks. |

thinking logically, chances are once all the FB catalogue reverts back to 4ad (which isn't too far away) there might well be a B-sides and rarities album, or Best Of (I never see the point of a Best Of as such when there's only the two albums)... you're more likely to see something like that than one which involves licensing in tracks from his other labels...
I could be completely wrong of course, but that's what seems logical to me.. |

| Sounds good. Best Of's generally aren't a good thing really as what I consider best and what everyone else does are different, and with someone like Frank only a lot of promo would help it do anything but then that could be an idea. |

| Uh...isn't his backlog owned by other labels (spinart etc) and in a few monthes it'll go back to being owned by 4ad like the pixies stuff. I don't know why its reverting but thats the general gist of it I think. |

| While I wait for a proper b-sides album I don't suppose someone could list all the b-sides and compilation songs to date could they? Its been bothering me coz Im not familiar with the singles (other than the ones I've got) |
