Okay now that maybe the dust has settled somewhat on this I will attempt to make a few points here. Okay the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in it's original version is not out on any Greatist Hits package except Song Book. Most artists who have a succession of Greatist Hits packages usually have completely new material on them.
Radio play has evaded Gord of late in fact I don't recall ever hearing one track off of Painter on the radio when it was released. If someone has please let me know.
New tunes that have been commercial hits include Dream Street Rose, If You Need Me, Baby Step Back, Anything For Love, I'll Prove My Love, Blackberry Wine, Daylight Katy, Endless Wire those are 8 that I know of and perhaps Rhino would throw in 2 more rarities and hey I'd buy it ( in my dreams I know) That was the point I was attempting to make with my original post.
Making one's own CD's will never match the quality coming from the factory, that I concur, however mine are good enough for to listen to in my taxi as it has a CD player and not cassette. It's not 100% perfect but it isn't bad.
I'm aware a new CD of brand new material is in the works..... I have heard the 2-3 new songs in concert which I can't wait to get my hands on in CD format!
Hopefully this clears things up.
