Other than the record company cashing in "again" on Jarre's tour with the upteinth time release of "Essential", I really see no other point in there being a "best of" album as part of this set. Surely those who attend Jarre concerts know part of his back catalogue of hits to not warrant another one of these albums.
Come on Dreyfus Music. . . . . Think "outside" the box for a change.
A double album as a minimum of rarities would be a better seller for you than a mash up of hits and rarities. It would be MORE welcomed in the Jarre community than the present statements of a one disc of hits, one disc of rarities. They cannot tell us they only have enough material for one disc, surely not. I understand that over time, any old recordings onto tape can degrade. But there has to be more material out there that could be released as a boxset than a single disc of rarities.
Even a Rarities Volume One would be a good starting point. . . . If we had a sign that there would be more to follow at a later date.
