(Excuse me folks, while I sling a bit of mud... :-) 's just a hobby...)

There's only one problem with this track selection: as a BOC member, you'd
have to acknowledge that the Bouchard Bros. were in the group, and are no
longer.  The current WOTT track selection is close to being Bouchard-free,
at least in the vocals department.  By introducing Debbie Denise, Tattoo
Vampire, You're Not The One, Fallen Angel, and the 3 Imaginos tracks, you'd
have to face the ubiquitous "Where are Al and Joe?" question some more...
(Not to mention possibly put a bit of green into their pockets--green that
could be yours if you put your own tracks on the CD.)

(Sorry--I'll stop now.)

I'll agree that even my best conspiracy theory still doesn't account for
the omission of "Then Came The Last Days Of May".

Personally, I don't think any BOC collection is even close to complete
without that track, "Death Valley Nights" and "Morning Final".
