Seems like an odd songlist, and I would agree that as a solo act Dave really didn't have enough legitimate commercial hits to qualify for releasing any such compilation under a "greatest hits" moniker. Maybe this is nitpicking, but more along the lines of a "best of" would be more accurate.
In EITHER event, um...I'm Easy? Sensible Shoes? No Big 'Ting? Hard to imagine any of those tracks being on many hardcore (never mind casual) fan 'best of' OR 'greatest hits' lists.
Assuming the Dave TV part of the dvd is the 1986 VHS release in full, that is somewhat useful, since that hasn't been updated to dvd for official release, but when considering the amount of solo Roth videos made, the remainder of the dvd portion doesn't even include the better-known videos, and to be frank I'd expect quite a few more videos included in terms of sheer quantity. The overall amount of videos on the dvd seems a bit...sparse.
Nah. I'm gonna give this a pass. Napalm Up Your Ass is far superior in terms of videos, and I've already got all the audio on the original releases and the 1997 "The Best": I don't need to keep rebuying the same stuff over and over again. Suppose it's a good thing something like this is being put out at all, since I can't imagine the interest in Roth solo today is even equal to (much less higher than) Dave's last greatest hits release in 1997 (and that release sold bupkis).
