Sinister: sell outs? PAH!

[Hester, Mark (ELS)]

>'Real' bands like The Smiths, Joy Division and New Order release these type
of singles.
it's gr8 (another variant) to hear these words of wisdom from Lawrence.  Of
course any band worth its salt releases singles which do not appear on
albums, although it is interesting to note that all the examples he quotes
had compilation albums released at a later date, on which the aforementioned
singles appeared.  Of course, a 'best of' compilation is itself seen as an
example of 'selling out' in some quarters, especially when it's called
'Greatest Hits'.
>May their stars shine bright on TOTP!
Good point, would B&S do TOTP?  Or would they be like the Clash and refuse
to?  Their shyness and the relative rareness of their live appearances
suggest that they wouldn't.

Mark.
