Advantages: introduction to The Libertines

Disadvantages: so much missing!

While this CD is a good place to start if you're interested in The Libertines, in actuality it appears to be a quickly put-together attempt by Rough Trade to make more money off a deceased band. Which I suppose is fair enough, if I had THE BEST BAND EVER's catelogue, I'd resell sell sell!
However, this could have been so much more. I was expecting them to release a longer-format dvd as was promised at the end of the release of 'The Libertines' +DVD release.
But there is nothing here for a Libertines fan, because one most likely has everything on this CD. The B-sides included are not hard to get ahold of, and the majority is included on their two albums. So save yourself some money and just buy 'Up The Bracket' and 'The Libertines' because after you hear this, you will undoubtedly want more!
Hopefully this best of collection will be outdated someday with some new Libertines music anyways!
Five stars anyways, because one could never give The Libs less than 5/5!

Summary: Good, but 'Up The Bracket' and 'The Libertines' are a better idea...
