Kind of lame that an album cover has to promote an advertisement.

If you don't want this album with the advertisement reference on the cover, you can get this older compilation "Soul Deep":

It's exactly the same comp with the same tracks and cover picture, plus it's cheaper.

The sad part is that the original (very fine) comp is cheaper, instead of that pathetic new version which should be a free promotional item thanks to that advertising on the booklet cover.

The new cover makes it look like a bootleg you buy for $1 from the markdown bin of a discount store.

Couldn't they have just kept the original title and cover art and put a sticker on the front saying "Includes Neon Rainbow as featured in the TalkTalk advert"?

The ironic thing is, I've heard that advert about 30 times,& that song about 30 times, & I own the original compilation, & yet this is the first time I've put 2 + 2 together & realized that track is the Box Tops!

I think it's kinda fun that they're promoting it on that - At least any new fans are going to put it on & get instantly hit with "the letter" as a sign that there was a LOT more to them than an advert soundtrack.
