I see that twenty years after the Spitting Image joke about Bryan Ferry never recordinfg any new music and re-issuing his greatest hits every five minutes, he's gone and done it again! Has any artist ever done this so many times?

Any suggestions?

(would post the sketch but youtube doesn't have it. frown )

I remember that sketch well...... Me and the missus have two different versions of his greatest hits already (bought before we got together) so we won;t be buying a third...

Queen for one, the Police for another. I have most Of Ferry's "Studio" original albums and despite a slight change in his singing voice latterly He's still churning out good Music. I'll "gloss" over the "covers" albums as I think they are vile. Also don't forget that artists tend not to have any control over the Record company when it comes to re-releases and "Greatest hits" compilations.
