The point is not that the songs (like Lovable for example) are not good. The point is that an album can have too many songs (or songs badly placed) and is weakened as a consequence. I wouldn't say don't release the songs, but I would say give them the right forum. BC made a fair point earlier about ...

I love 'This Town' ....its one of my fave openers. I used to love Spike and MLAR but they have slipped down the list over the years in favour of his really great work (inc BY, WIWC and North by the way).

So that's it then? EC likes Abba so they must be cool. No, not really my point Mr Goon, although I appreciate that it may have appeared to be.
