There's really no reason for me to buy the new Pixies "best of".If I do it will be for purely aesthetic purposes. The only reason I got "Death To The Pixies" is for the live CD. Agree?

yeah, i'm struggling to think of reasons to buy it, apart from completing my collection. i may well buy it. i'm not sure. i don't need it!

maybe if the cd notes are good, like the good bio of the pixies in death to...

Will not be getting this or the new 4 song single. Have the EU versions of DTTP on cd and 10". The singles seems to be one of the Debaser singles from DTTP, is it not?

there's no sleeve notes, just tracklistings and nice pictures - there's no reason to get this one again (other than completions sake), as there's nothing exclusive to this comp.

the single is one Best Of track, plus the b-sides from Head On (two also featured on the european Alec Eiffel cd release as well) - so again, nothing new, unless you don't own Head On or Alec Eiffel...

oh I'm way too honest for my own good :)

I think it's good there's a new Best Of, as I don't like DTTP, and this one flows better - leaves me wanting more, rather than wondering why that track follows that one....

hopefully it'll appeal to younger fans just discovering them for the first time - there's too many people who don't really know much about them (and don't realise DTTP is a Best Of...)

I think I'll pass and buy the DVD. Sounds like hibster's got a lucky copy of DTTP.

I don't know, my local record store will sell a CD regular for about $12.99, which is a great price. The week a CD comes out though, they sell them as cheap as $7.99 to $9.99. It may just be one of those CDs that I grab in passing because it's not a big hit on the wallet.

Are the songs remastered though?
Or is the whole catalog getting remastered soon?
