No matter what your opinion is of this band (personally, I’m “eh”), I don’t think that they’re quite ready for a “best-of” after two albums. And as far as I can tell, there aren’t any previously unreleased bonus tracks on this disc, either. But Mick Jones (the Clash) produced, and according to reps from Rough Trade (no bias there): “The Libertines were the best and most influential band of the last decade.” My best guess for releasing this album: Pete Doherty needs more scratch to fuel his many vices.
