![]() And I bought the big comeback, Cloud Nine, way back when and remember liking it well enough (even if I don’t remember too much of it very well now).

Over the years I’ve thought I wanted to delve more deeply into George Harrison’s solo catalog.

Did you eventually break down and buy the original album on which that song appears? I’ve not yet bought a copy of Aladdin Sane. I’m hoping that our resident expert on greatest hits collections, Townsman Andyr, can help us gain insight into the selection process. ![]() I didn’t want to buy whatever full Bowie album that song appears on, because I typically found his full albums to be a waste of time. Similarly, when I was a yon’ teen and brought home my copy of David Bowie‘s Changesone greatest hits collection, I was disappointed to find that one of the Bowie songs that most psyched me up when it came on the radio wasn’t included: “Panic in Detroit.” Why? That was in semi-regular rotation in its time, but it was cast aside by the greatest hits compiler. No dice! “Shadow of a Doubt” was not considered one of Petty’s greatest hits. When Tom Petty‘s first greatest hits collection came out on CD in the early ’90s (?), I played it a few times through, thinking I’d somehow skipped “Shadow of a Doubt,” a second-line hit from early in his career that I enjoyed hearing more than “Breakdown” (for the 8 billionth time in the first couple years of its release).
