it didnt show up for me either until I actually searched for social distortion greatest hits...social distortion alone didnt bring it up for some reason.
got it in the mail last night with the DVD. overall, not really impressed, but i'll take it. not sure if i like it yet or not, but atleast it's something different. i would've been mad if they just pulled the tracks from the albums and put them on the GH. however, i was bummed that Don't Drag Me Down was not on the CD. that was the song that got me hooked to SxDx in high school, and i remember it getting more airplay on Live 105 compared to I Was Wrong.
dvd is nothing special. after about a minute or 2, the singing doesn't match the music, they're off by a few seconds. it was cool to watch, but i'm glad i didn't pay anything extra for it.
I think these songs sound completley diffrent than the original.
P.S.
I was walking by the Virgin Records Store in SF and they were blasting the greatest hits out on the street [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Whoever said these songs were just "remixed" or "remastered" clearly isn't that familiar with these songs. These are either new recordings or (which I doubt) just alternate takes. (I'm talking about the Sony tracks, not the others.)
Nowhere is there any production credits or band member credits in the liner notes which is a little shady. Why not just say you couldn't (or Sony wouldn't) license the original versions? [img]graemlins/whatever.gif[/img]

Give me a break people. 18 years later, with 3 out of 4 new musicians, and your telling me that these songs have all been re-recorded from scratch? Put on headphones, and play both versions of ring of fire for example back and forth and you will be hard pressed to find a difference at all besides guitars are turned up or down in the mix, or the snare drum sounds a little different. I was to the point were I forgot wich version i was listening to. Good Editing and mixing does wonders. To me, the most different sounding song is Bad Luck, and I will concede that its possible that one of the guitar tracks was re-recorded, but i still dont think so.
To prove my point, play under my thumb from way back in the beginning, and then play it from WLWHWT. 2 out of 4 musicians are different with about another 15 or so years in between and its almost entirely a different song.
