i originally thought that perhaps a greatest hits collection may have been premature. too many bands release a greatest hits set without enough good content or a large enough following. but the more i think of it, the more confidend i am that this is the exact right time for this sort of compilation. there are probably many more fans tagging along right now with all the hip's recent publicity(RnR Hall of Fame), so this set gives them a chance to "catch up," so to speak. the hip have such a good catologue of material that it would be impossible for this compilation to not go over well(and a coupl enew tracks as an added enticement for long-time fans). there is also no error in the lack of a b-side or unreleased material set. the resources for those are so large that there would be no need to release it officially, and those who collect already wouldn't find much need to purchase.
anyway, those are just my thoughts, what do i know?
