Oh, christ. Seems it was called both. My cd is ‘Staring’ but that’s because it’s German. As you were.
You know in my head it was always called Staring at the Sea but I never owned it just a cassette copied from a friend. Just assumed I was wrong but weirdly I could have been right…probably not though.
I’m pretty sure mine is called Standing in the Sea
Hall & Oates - Rock n Soul, Greatest Hits Part 1 The Pocket Galaxie 500
Standing on a Beach was the cassette version. Staring at the Sea was the name given to the CD release as well as to the video compilation.
The cassette version, btw, had all the b-sides on the flip side, while the CD release has a couple of extra (non-single) tracks.
I’ve got a Lynyrd Skynyrd 7" with Freebird on one side and Sweet Home Alabama on the other. I like to think of it as the Best Of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Wigs Fallen Off! (Best Of)
Got the tape version. Some great stuff on that b-sides set. Possibly one of the great cassette greatest hits comps.
Decade by Neil Young
On triple vinyl, of course
The very best of Steely Dan. Gonna listen to it now actually
Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady
I’m not sure I really need to listen to their albums. It stands as an essential piece of work by itself.
Yes. Decade is a rare example of truly negating the need to listen to the studio albums. Maybe that’s just me. A great album.
The newer Super Furries Best Of. 36 tracks and not a single track could have been cut. WHAT A BAND
Missing Simple Man
Full of bangers and under half an hour long
I have to disagree! The Mix is fantastic and I think a lot of thought went into it by Ralf Hutter. I’m pretty sure the sounds were produced on more modern (for 1991) digital synthesizers and sequencers resulting in a different sound. It really is worth listening to.
