It's always annoying when a band's Greatest Hits compilation substitutes live or remixed versions of their original songs, rather than sticking to the original studio versions that you're familiar with.
Case in point: I've owned Foreigner's "Records" since my early music collecting days (it was released in 1982!), but was always annoyed that they included a live version of probably their biggest hit of the time, "Hot Blooded."
So apparently in the aughts I decided to pick up a more complete and up-to-date collection to replace it, which would hopefully not have any live versions, and also include a few of their later hits. Only to find out that the entire freaking collection is live. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🙄
This shouldn't be so hard.
