Don't know for sure, but to do this project justice, I've always
maintained that it needed to be a 3 CD set.  Too much was left out of
Workshop.

Well, the original groundrules for the fans were to identify the tracks
that Joe Q. Public would consider BOC's greatest hits (why they didn't
just ask Joe Q. Public then is beyond me) - still, I don't recall this
one scoring that high.

There were a few crimes on Workshop - IMHO, the biggest crime was the
absence of "Hot Rails to Hell", followed by no Imaginos tunes
(especially in light of what the liner notes said about it).

Yeah, it feels good to vent once in awhile...  ;-)
