Okay so I believe I do know the answer to my question. I realized the label was A&M which was her ex-(ex) label. I noticed that there's a lot of "Icon" albums which basically are "greatest hits" from artist under contract with A&M like Bryan Adams, Janet Jackson. Sheryl Crow has one coming out January 4th also... Looks like we'll have a greatest hits album by V... How weird! Do you think we might get some extra tracks??  :D

hmmm, do you think it could possibly contain unreleased songs such as Best Behavior or Wave Goodbye?
....what about the first single off of Rabbits on the Run?

^ I don't think so. If it's being released by A&M, then surely they don't own the rights to use those songs you just listed seeing as they were written & recorded after she left the label?

If you scroll down to the bottom, it says it's a "Best of Vanessa Carlton" E-album.

I wonder how much of her work A&M has rights to, and I wonder if Vanessa has any say in this release.

This site gives a bit more detail on what we can expect.

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/icon-series-launched-by-universal-music-enterprises-100254019.html

it says they feature 12 tracks. I am sure we can expect A Thousand Miles, Ordinary Day, Pretty Baby, and White Houses. So thats 4 songs. I hope the rest are not just live/acoustics. We pretty much have some of those already. I wouldn't mind more, but we all know what we want the rest of those songs to be : )

Thanks for posting that there will be 12 songs! If they only use albums tracks it will have half if each record, ridiculous for a greatest hits record... Since A&M don't own masters of V's songs after 2005 we could still expect to see some previously unreleased tracks like Quail Dude Squaw or Wave Goodbye but sadly I don't think it will happen. We'll probably have a majority of BNB tracks with like 3 remixes/live versions from
both ATM and OD then White Houses, maybe Who's To Say, Private Radio..

12.

I wish they would be an encore version of the songs.

What are we talking about here? Do you people really think the album it's entirely Vanessa? Or it's just a complilation cd with the best of A&M? Cause tbh, the first thing does not make sense to me, i would love to tho, of corse.

Martin. this http://www.jr.com/product/music/pm/_1697805/ is the Sheryl Crow one, it has the same typography, so idk, it may be?

Huh that's neato! I do wonder, if it will be only songs from the first two albums and not the third? :/ Meh I dunno how the whole record company thing works but I'd think that her first record company won't be able to have the rights for the 3rd album right? Not sure who she was with for the 2nd.

A&M and the Inc are both part of Universal so it wouldn't surprise me if they could slap a few H&T tracks on the album. Regardless I'm really excited! If we get that 'unreleased EP" we've been waiting for by the frickin' fourth I'll just about DIE. : )
