But DM's singles went all crap sometime around Violator. ;)
And keep in mind that everything I have before Unforgettable Fire is pretty much a copy of a copy of a copy and what singles I have are even worse copies, and there's also the fact that I have some of the non-album R&H songs you and I surreptitiously taped when we went to the movie (yes, I still have that tape)...
But you do bring up a good argument about availability, post-holiday. You never know with these things (damn it, I hate that!), and there are some later singles that are sketchy (i.e., eight remixes instead of a bona fide b-side song)...
But come on...who doesn't like the funky Monster Truck Remix of "Staring at the Sun" (which eerily sounds like our Erasure remix of our own "Temptation"...)? Although some of their later albums aren't as incredible as War, for instance, they do have merit. I'm one of about 4 people who thought Pop was an awesome album that could have been even better.
Like I said, the jury's still out. I'll get back to you on this. And of course I'll make copies of all the pre-Unforgettable Fire stuff for you if I do get it. ;)
