Reel Big Fish announces band-selected Greatest Hits album
Reel Big Fish have announced plans to release a new, second Best Of album featuring 22 songs. While a greatest hits album was released in 2006. it was done by Jive Records, the ska/punk outfits' previous label and led to the band publicly admonishing the label saying:
So Jive records (our former label) [put] out an RBF greatest hits CD because they see how well our live album is doing and they pretty much just want to screw us any way they can! they see that there's still money to be made from the Reel Big Fish so they are trying to get a last little piece! There's really nothing we can do to stop them since they own ALL our previous recordings!
The new collection will feature those 22 songs presumably culled from the band's many albums including Turn The Radio Off, Why Do They Rock So Hard?, Cheer Up, We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not Happy and Monkeys for Nothin' and the Chimps for Free. The set will also feature a bonus disc featuring 14 acoustic tracks.
