I only like comps if they offer something that hasn't been released
before...otherwise whats the point? I get used to hearing the songs in a
certain order. If i don't hear Red barchetta after Tom Sawyer it throws me off.

dead around here. No posts in November yet? I feel like I amtalking to myself
sometimes. Here's my response to my questions, lol...I own all 11 of these
comps. I don't listen to too many of them,mostly Chronicles, since I have an
extra copy of it in the car. Icollect every Rush release I can find. The rarest
comps in mycollection are the Archives with black cover, and the EYLEWTH
vinyls.I have made a few of my own Rush mix cds, mostly when I needed tolearn
them for the band. I don't listen to any of the vinyl since myrecord player has
not been hooked up in 6 years. I do look forward tothe new Retro 3 because it
has some unreleased material, namely thebonus DVD with videos.
