Pitchforkmedia said: Though they played a major role in defining British indie in the 90s (before fellow countrymen Blur and Oasis launched it into the mainstream), chances are if you called the U.S. home, you were pretty much oblivious to the Boo Radleys, who unfortunately lacked the cheeky shenanigans to propel them onto the cover of the British tabloids. Well, your chance for a second date is on its way. According to Sanctuary Records,
the influential (but sadly disbanded) group are prepping a career-spanning 2xCD anthology for release on July 4 through Castle Music, a Sanctuary offshoot.
Entitled
Find the Way Out, the comp marks the group's first comprehensive hits collection, and includes tracks culled from each of the three labels they recorded for during their lifespan-- Action, Rough Trade, and Creation Records. The 40 remastered songs included on the set offer a healthy number of selections from each of the band's six studio albums
(most notably the classic Giant Steps), as well as singles, b-sides, and previously unreleased material. The album also features deluxe packaging with artwork by original collaborator Stephen Wood.
~Martin Carr getting pissed because the second disc was over by 12 minutes. I pointed out to him that people really do care and that there were over 50 responses on two different threads ilx alone. So it looks like they have come to an understanding on the second disc:

They could still put on my theme song “Put Your Arms Around Me and Tell Me Everything’s Going To Be OK” 2:50 and “New Brighton Promenade” 3:05 from the very misunderstood but fucking brilliant
C’Mon Kids album.
The ending song is perfect as it will be the song I dedicate to my wife someday. I LOVE this band almost more than life itself and tonight I’m a bit sad because five songs have been cut, making me want to do drugs. (The sky was Bullfog Green, man you would have been amazed!)
