Reel Big Fish asks you NOT to buy or download their newly released Greatest Hits CD. Jive Records is releasing this album without approval from the band. Apparently Jive owns all of the masters and can do whatever they want with them. RBF doesn't see a single penny from any of these CDs sold and had no input into what went on them.
Not only is Jive screwing over the RBF by releasing this, they also did a horrible job of re-mastering the music. So they are screwing over your ears by not giving you the orginial mix.
RBF recently put out a live greatest hits on their own called "Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album." Sales have been going well enough that Jive is now trying to cash in on it with their own release. Don't let Jive screw over the actual writers and creators of the music.
Buy the live CD. You won't regret it. It was probably my favorite CD of 2006. Download it off of iTunes and get over 30 songs from like 9 bucks. You can't lose and you are directly supporting a really good band.

That's a shitty move on the part of the label. I'm assuming the're not with Jive anymore?
Pass the joint.
