well somehow if you were a record compiler sitting in an office in the Netherlands trying to sell a 3 disc compilation with loads of tracks licenced from EMI records, somehow i dont think your gonna be that pedantic and correct :lol:

I've got a 7" of Money by Flying Lizards, but that's all.

 

Let's Go All The Way by Sly Fox was great though.
