I don't know I thought the Simple Minds cover was better than Simpleminds bare this in mind Keith Forsey cowrote the #1 worldwide hit single, "Don't You (Forget About Me)with Billy in mind in the first place.if you already own Greates Hits and are considering getting this for the extra tracks, don't! All the first 14 track are the same then you get the tracks "speed", "world comin down" which is confusing to me since this wasn't a single, the single "Scream" would have been much better choice "World Comin Down" to me sounds like some pathic 50 year-old doing a cheesy wanna-be Greenday tribut song, hey I just call them the way that song sounds to me, I'm not trying to bash Billy I love Billy. Honestly Do yourself a faviour and buy the three unavailable songs as downloads there okay "John Wayn" being the stand-out track even though it is bit silly, but really the extra songs are not worth the $14.00 for the album. However even though I was impress over the sound quality, the running order of Greatest Hits is better one thing that bugs me is that it has Tommy James & the Shondells cover "mony mony" after "Sweet Sixteen" which in this case should be the 1987 Live version but once again it's the same old version that's been on every comp Not that I don't like it, it just should be the second song okay maybe I'm being picky, what I figure is that this would stump Billy fans into thinking it's the Live version I give this comp 4stars only because the sound quality and if don't own the Greatest Hits album this will do fine dispite it's flaws -- allthough a better choice would be the one that come with a DVD this way you get videos that were never officialy released on DVD.
