LOONEY TOONS

The current obsession is anthology albums — more precisely, Golden Hits packages, samplers and bargain collections. I think I know why, too. For a long long time, everyone has known that the absolute A-number-one fuckin’ killer best of all anthologies were the Motown ones: Chartbusters, the latest series is into its fourth edition by now, I think, but before that there were the fabulous 16 Original Big Hits, which ran into a dozen or more volumes before it was deleted, or just stopped coming out.
