They said they would be updating it in Early 99.

Colin: are you on vacation or something? Thanks for keeping this board alive! Happy New Year. Margarita: unas pocas palabras para ti: un año de 1999 maravilloso, repleto de salud, amor e prosperidad. Para nuestra América Latina un año de crecimiento e más equidad. Fernanda: Estou te devendo uma, mas o fechamento do ano está complicado na minha Organização. Feliz 1999, com muita prosperidade e solidariedade no nosso Brasil. CHEERS TO ALL!

I insist! Dear Quentin: I am deeply offended by your message. I don't ever recall someone using such a rude word as "wop" (how terribly racist!) to refer to me before. I really would like to start anew. Let's not resort to racist invective in speaking to one another. Let's bury the hatchet and concentrate on how much we love Carly! OK?

Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 05:43:42 -0500 I am thinking you are un-educated, stupid, and uninformed beyound belief! Were you not such a wop, perhaps we would have communicated more sucessfully. Don't forget, it was you who said the song in question was from "Have You Seen Me Lately?" an album that came out three years and about four albums after "Two Hot Girls" did. I think you are the one full of shit and, standing by my word, stupid, but also hypocritical and short-sighted. No, Love you.

Neither of those songs were even "hits," much less "greatest hits." Those of us who know Carly's body of work know that this is just a marketing fraud, but I am concerned that people who don't know her will think that these really were hits. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 02:58:26 -0500 From: qusar@mindspring.com Subject: Re: Question Adel, The _Greatest Hits_ album is perhaps the biggest misnomer of them all. Honest. What that album really is is a concert that Carly did back in 87 -- live -- on HBO. This is no conspiracy. I would think, as witnessed on Carly's box set (and I am quite familiar with her body of work since I have most of it and read it like well read novels), that Carly likes her own music and despite what floats and what doesn't, she has things she considers hits? This is my suggestion. I hope I don't see it in shreds. Else, there will be a post about respect. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 19:20:51 EST From: Dakota0721@aol.com Subject: Greatest Hits As a marketing ploy, there are a couple of songs that most artists never released but maybe planning on releasing to sell the greatest hits package. Example, I have all of Carly's CD's. Why would I want her Greatest Hits Live when I have the original Greatest Hits which was released in the mid seventies? That is my opinion which may or may not be correct, Dakota ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 20:45:25 EST From: Whydja@aol.com Subject: Re: Greatest Hits My guess is that ARISTA had a large role to play in determining what was a "hit". At the time Greatest Hits Live was released, they were still pushing "Coming Around Again", so they were simply trying to drive up sales. I think Carly mentioned the role that politics also played in choosing which cuts would be allowed on CIMC.
