oh yay so soon! maybe i can get it for my birthday.... hmm...

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. : )

I really hope there would be unreleased songs.

It's our only hope that we hear those unheard songs.

Quail Dud Squaw/Quailude/Morning Sting/Wave Goodbye.

Gahh. There's just a lot.

[saphire]

morning Sting is one of my favorite Nessa-Songs and it's from the A&M-era. We know there is a studio version (with brass OMG o.o) and I'd die of happiness if we get to hear this song on this Icon-thing. I keep my finger crossed that they pull out all the stuff they own the rights of and we never got to hear ^^

I might email them and see what the deal is. Ask them to put some unreleased stuff on. Doubt they'll respond and if they do, I can't see them doing it unless they're planning to. But it's worth a shot.

Ok. Just a side note, but these are REALLY BIG things that we have to be informed about.

It's kinda sad, we're getting all sorts of blotchy info about the album.

Guys, trust me: there'll be no unreleased things. This is just a way for A&M to get all the cash they can from the tracks they legally own. It's basically a compilation of her songs, it's not an official greatest hits. She won't promote it (probably doesnt even know it exists) and she won't release anything new on them.

Yeah, sadly I'm going to have to agree with this.

yeah, i agree too, as i said above, it's very unlikely.

[_all_is_well_]

I would LOVE it if they put unreleased stuff on it... But sadly its called "best of Vanessa Carlton" or something like that if its supposed to be her hits it wont have what we want :/

[WhiteRabbit]

probably wont... we can still hope though!

[barefootonbeaches]

I'm kind of surprised that V hasn't tweeted about this, but you guys might be right in that SHE doesn't even know about it. I don't see how they could make a "Greatest Hits" Album from just the two records that they own. They definitely need to put some unreleased material on there. Oh, you know what bugs me about the cover? It doesn't even have V's signature Victorian lettering. It's just so..... generic. Plus, it basically just reused Harmonium's picture. Ughhh. I want to be optimistic about this, but in reality, I think it's just going to be recycled tracks from BNB and Harmonium.
