This one only covers 1980-87-all the brilliant material since the reformation is missing. Earlier this year Rhino put out the awesome comp
The Very Best Of Echo & Bunnymen-More Songs To Learn And Sing which also had a bonus track of a Leonard Cohen cover and a DVD of 8 music videos. It also covered everything from 1980-2005.
I have everything they've ever done as well as the boxset, I've seen them live several times-they rule!
One of the best bands ever. This comp is good for just the old stuff but is just a rehash of the previous 2CD set "Bedbugs And Ballyhoo" from 1997. I'll pass.
I do need to pick up the new live DVD "Dancing Horses" though!
