Compilations

Sorry that I didn't post anything in the past week. The reason why is because I've been busy during that time and health problems.

I've seen many people in their videos and Facebook posts that will not touch greatest hits or compilation albums and tell new collectors  not to bother with them. WHY??? I tell people to buy them when they find them.

The reason why I say that are the following:

1. If somebody likes only a couple artist's songs, they can usually get all they need on the greatest hits album by that artist.
2. Artists have put songs on their greatest hits albums that are not released on any of their regular studio albums.
3. Greatest hits albums are a good way for a new collector to decide whether or not the like the artist. This way they won't have to waste their money buying 15 albums by that artist just to finally conclude they don't like them.
4. Compilation albums (albums with several different artists) are a good way to hear music by an artist that you haven't heard before. If you like a song of theirs on a compilation, there's a god chance that you'll start buying that artist's studio albums.
5. Compilation albums are like the mix tapes that many of us made when we were younger. With these albums we don't have to select the songs to include and take the time to record each song and then get to the last song just to find out that we don't have enough room on the tape for that last song that we wanted on it so bad.

So go out and buy those compilation and greatest hits albums that you've been avoiding because some know-it-all, stuck up snob that considers them self  to be a collector said not to in a video.
