Now that's what I call a pissed-off band

I make no apologies for re-posting this cracking notice from the Cowboy Junkies website in its entirety, not least because I'm certain that the band would thoroughly approve of my doing so. Plus, as a big fan of the band, I totally agree with them. If you're going to say "fuck you" to a former record company, this is how to do it.

Cowboy Junkies - Greatest Hits
Sometime this month RCA/BMG will be releasing a "greatest hits" compilation. We have absolutely nothing to do with this release. We have not been consulted about any details, from the track selection to the artwork, and were not even given the courtesy of a phone call to let us know that this release was being scheduled.

This release is a huge insult to us and we ask that if you are a fan of the band that you please don't buy it. All of the tracks on this compilation are available on our other studio releases, which are available through the Junk Store. If you must have these specific tracks in this specific order then: find them on the Internet, download them for free and burn them on to a CD....you have our blessing.
