I can't speak for anyone else but I rate the first half of 'Give Me Convenience...' as much as any of the studio albums. The early b-sides were fantastic songs and, as a kid, I played those songs as often as I did the a-sides and I honestly think the likes of 'Police Truck', 'Insight', 'Too Drunk...' et al are as good as anything on the albums.

Besides, if you don't/didn't own those songs as 7 inch singles then where are people meant to hear them? Far too good a set of songs to just waste by not allowing them to be accessed by an audience, surely?

For the record, I've never even seen a Guitar Hero!
