This ‘Ultimate’ Greatest Hits celebrates 50 years of Aerosmith. Have it your way, with 44 tracks on 4LP or 3CD, 20 tracks on a 2LP vinyl set or 18 tracks on a single CD. The SDE-value-o-meter shows that vinyl fans get charged around £2.90 (4LP) or £1.85 (2LP) per track, whereas CD buyers get charged 66p (single CD) or 48p (3CD set) per track.
The 2015 Erasure compilation is released on vinyl for the first time. This 2LP set features 18 tracks from the 20-track single CD edition – omitting ‘Be With You’ and ‘Sometimes (2015)’ – while adding ‘Love You To The Sky’ and ‘Hey Now (Think I Got A Feeling)’ (from 2017’s World Be Gone and 2020’s Neon, respectively) bringing it right up to date. Nice touch.
