Title: Rips Off the Fans
Review: I'm sorry, but the strategy of releasing compilations consisting of old material plus one or two new tracks automatically earns a "no Good" rating from me.The fans are the reason artists can release these compilations in the first place. For newcomers, adding a couple of new tracks makes no difference: to them, all the tracks are new. No, they do this for one reason only -- to get fans to pony up full CD price for the two tracks they don't already own.This is the kind of marketing that has earned such contempt from the public, and this is the why file-sharing services thrive. I've been a Cockburn fan for a long, long time and I own every one of his albums. It's a real slap in the face to release two new songs and not make them available, except at exorbitant prices, to the people who have supported him throughout his career.
