Thanks a lot Denis! this is a great press release. So nice to read the Man's words about all those albums.

No tracklisting announced for the moment?

I haven't found any. I was kinda hoping for a double CD full of rarities, but it doesn't look like it from the PR. It seems silly to get excited over a best-of when you already have all the tracks, but hey... I'll buy it.

Yeah, a double Cd would have been a great idea!
I'll buy it too. I can't imagine they won't put any unreleased track on it.
I hope it will sell a lot, and help those stupid journalists to recognize at last all the genius of Frank.

Yeah, makes excellent reading. I like FB's comments about the 'narrative arc' to his career.

Are you typing while asleep? A Frank Black best of selling a lot? Not a chance.

Bluefinger however will put everyone down on their knees. I can sense it.

I put my euros on Grand Duchy and on the record with EDF. Then everyone will go crazy about Frank and say: "wowee zowee"

Thx Denis.

I don't really need a FB compilation... but on the other hand I can't imagine not buying it.

Everyone should have gone crazy about TOTY or DITS...

Oh, and don't forget Bluefinger, it's terrific. (Just an intuition, of course )

Yeah, even though I'll have every track, I kinda feel like buying it, just to make it sell. Weird. I wouldn't do that for many artists.

Still, the songs will all be mastered at a uniform volume, which'll be cool.

OK, here's what I know: there'll be two discs, the second will feature "live tracks and demos".

Muchos thankos to my source, Pol-Eric P. @ Wagram.

Yeah, it's that fan/collector thing! I guess FB/CV had fans in mind with the bonus disc, which is certainly something to look forward to.

Anyone else wonders why the compilation only goes up to 2003?

Because Honeycomb and FM/RM would be "too different" from the rest of the songs selection I guess, and they're also too recent.
1993-2003 is a coherent choice IMO.

"different"... that's a nice way to put it.

No really: that's what I think, there's no mockery in what I said.
I mean, I like those albums especially FM/RM, even if they're not the ones I prefer, that's for sure.

My guess is that it was chosen because it was pre reunion...or maybe HC and FMRM and Christmas are considered too recent.

And on a practical level, fitting a good mix onto the disc would be a struggle.

1993-2003 is a good mix.

Yeah but it would comfort his "arc" theory, FMRM and Honeycomb being a bit "FB" and "TOTY" at the end of the circle (a normal lenght record and a big one with a similar sound and the same producer).
And if you put a song like "new house of the pope" and then for example "Another Velvet nightmare" or "selkie bride" the transition could have been ok.
But I agree they're too recent.
Anyone knows about the songs of this best of? Apparently he speaks about "I dont want to hurt you" wich I fear will be in the selection. The other songs he talk about (even a reference to the place of Mullholland that could suggest the song is included) are perfect.
