As always when doing an exercise like this, it feels odd not to be to able to consider some of the great singles and B-sides that never appeared on a "proper" album.... but that's just the way it goes.

Side note: I listened to the Live in Warsaw set that came with Swords yesterday for the first time in years. A few more high points that I remember, but what a befuddling audio mix. Must be straight off the sound board, as if it was never intended to be recorded for release.
