even as a young shaver, for a big lots shopper like myself, buying "singles" for any band was just not gonna happen. I needed value and a pile of songs if ponying up my own cash... So my first experience with Flag was this "first four years" collection--which to my ears works as a full on LP (time duration of the pile of 35 second maesterwerks not an issue here).
In otherwords, not only is the music awesome, but the product itself was wholly needed, unlike most comp/hit cash grabs, which only serve the purpose of boosting sales and giving a consumer a denser collection of more well known tunes.
If I simply heard, I dunno, a "Jealous Again" single, I'd have though, cool song. But I'd not know the brilliance of Black Flag. I needed that collection. The world needed that collection.
