Fatboy Slim - Greatest Hits

[ManicKangaroo]

Fatboy Slim is to release "The Greatest Hits-Why Try Harder" on June 19, 2006. The album will be preceded by a brand new single "That Old Pair Of Jeans."

"The Greatest Hits" brings together all the huge records that helped make Fatboy Slim the biggest dance artist and DJ on the planet. The album includes all the hit Fatboy Slim singles, alongside remixes for Cornershop and Groove Armada, plus two exclusive new tracks "Champion Sound" (featuring Lateef), and forthcoming single "That Old Pair Of Jeans." Across the 18 tracks, "The Greatest Hits" contains ten UK top 20 singles and, with classic cuts "Brimful Of Asha" and "Praise You," it also has two UK number 1s. This is a celebration of dance music's biggest moments from one of the biggest names around.

A full DVD entitled "The Greatest Hits-Why Make Videos" will also be released and will include all of Fatboy's genre defining and hilarious award-winning videos. Included in the DVD are the videos for "Praise You," -- which won three MTV VMA's for "Breakthrough Video," "Best Direction," and "Best Choreography," and the video for "Weapon Of Choice" (featuring Christopher Walken) -- which picked up a GRAMMY® Award. This video was also the most downloaded video for the first week of the iTunes® launch. Also included is the video for "Wonderful Night" (featuring Lateef) -- this track was nominated for a 2005 GRAMMY® Award for "Best Dance Recording." This will be the first time these videos have been compiled together. More details announced soon.

Missing: Star 69 / A Song For Shelter / Ya Mama / Retox / The Joker

No Star 69, that was a damn good tune, how can it be excluded?

[Serge Freeman]

I'm thinking of buying it. It's a pity Ya Mama is missing.

[Da Quen B]

I seems pretty good as far as GH's go, but why put on those two awful / completely overplayed remixes?!?

[ManicKangaroo]

Because they were big hits and they want to maximise sales

[Admin]

This really is the end of the road for him then...til he comes up with a new disguise, pizzaman anyone?

[ManicKangaroo]

I have the Pizzaman album

[Tom]

If it includes his songs under previous guises I'd definately get it, but as I've got "You've Come A Long Way Baby" and his last album, not sure if its worth it even for the DVD.

In addition the the Pizzaman alias he also charted singles under the moniker The Mighty Dub Katz.

It's interesting that there are two songs on this that aren't even by him. I noticed that Daft Punk did the same thing with their recent GH cd. I wonder if this is something we'll be seeing more of in the future??
