I think the chances are bigger that they would have stumbled upon Discography 1
than that they would care looking for a brand new compilation at all - so my
point is that I don't really think it matters whether WEG/It's A Sin/AOMM etc
is on it or not - all EMI have to do is to push for Discography 1 once more
alongside with the new compilation - it will probably sell in total just as
much anyway then and will also please us fans!
