okay, i've finished writing/copying/pasting texts for the top 5. so we can start! :cool:

all those "outtakes" were not released before, as far as i know. i wouldn't count it as a typical compilation (e.g. Oasis, Beatles, U2 - most or all of songs were released previously). that album is fine by me ;)
