Was looking at the set list from the palladium show.

Is the set missing Jane Says?

Some bands have enough power in their contracts to have veto power on any such project no matter how much the labels wants to put out that sort of collection. Warner Bros is really the worst (or best depending on your perspective) when it comes to milking and repackaging a band's stuff.

On the other hand, some bands have zero say in these collections, such as most of the bands that were signed to UK label Beggars Banquet in the 80's. They put out a couple pretty massive box sets about a decade ago for The Cult with no input from the band at all (The Cult left BB around '95), the second of which was mostly really rough demos and rehearsals that Ian Astbury called "scrapping the bottom of the barrel" when he heard about the release after it was in stores.
Last year the Butthole Surfers were posting in the message board on their website to not buy the vinyl reissue of Independent Worm Saloon. The drummer was posting that they had nothing to do with it, it should be a double LP and will sound like shit condensed onto 1 LP and the 180 gram advertising is retarded because it will sound like shit anyway so who cares. They were always a savvy band too, they won their records back from Alternative Tentacles and Touch and Go but the major labels fucked them.

I don't have a problem with it. It's in keeping with the original image of the band. Just be grateful they didn't try to match the Strays cover in its shoddiness.
