I hate these! 1)Van Halen's "Best of #1": the vocal aprts of "Runnin' with the Devil" were rearranged. 2)Pink Floyd's "Echoes": "One of these Days" and "Echoes" wre shortened a little, which I don't mind. However, "Comfortably Numb" and "Learning to Fly" have extra bits of the beginning of each. In addition, this CD doesn't have anything from the Relics, Ummagumma, and Atom Heart Mother cds and the More and Obscured by Clouds soundtrack albums!

sad thing is, a younger generation of Madonna fans brought up with "The Immculate Collection" think those bastardized remixes are the original versions of the songs.

I love remixes as a seperate entity, but on a Greatest Hits album, I want the version that was a "Greatest Hit"

The rearranging of the vocals on "Runnin' with the Devil" was a mistake, one that was corrected on future copies. I bought my copy of Best Of Volume 1 the first day it came out, so I have a copy where the vocals on the song are mixed up, but that mistake was corrected on fututre releases.
