Save your money
I have been purchasing albums that I had during my college days on cassette tape and replacing them with CD's. When I saw the Faster Pussycat Greatest Hits I couldn't wait to buy it. It claims to the "The Original Songs you remember by the Original Artists you love". Flashback Records is a division of Rhino and for some reason they released "CENSORED" songs on this cd. That is not the ORIGINALS as promised. There was no warning what so ever on the cd to claim it is CENSORED music. Do not buy this piece of crap!
Good Overview for Casual Fan
Yes, the song "Slip of the Tongue" has a slight edit (probably the radio version) but otherwise the songs seem untouched. While there are a few great tunes missing from their albums - most notably Babylon, Pulling Weeds, and No Room for Emotion - this is a fairly complete collection.
Where it is really a valuable collection is for the song "You're So Vain", as this is the only place I've been able to find this song. It was originally done for some kind of 25th anniversary CD in 1990 for their label, and I've been unable to locate that song or that CD anywhere for years. For that reason alone it's valuable for the Faster Pussycat fan, or anyone who enjoyed this genre.
The One That Has You're So Vain
I agree with those that have said the only reason for a FP fan to really want this is for the song "You're So Vain", I'm really surprised it's so low in price, I am tempted to pay the 7 bucks for one song, but I have all 3 of thier studio Cd's, and for that one song seems strange.
Perhaps in the future a better collection of songs also, why "Bottle In Front Of Me" is on here I don't know, and only 10 songs it's a poor representation of the band. They might as well put out an essential 2 CD set and put "You're so Vain" at the end. Leave off 3 or 4 songs from "Whipped", and leave off maybe 1 or 2 from each of the first 2 CD's and there you have it.
This one is lacking, even for a band that only put out 3 CD's of studio material.
