I NEED A LOVE
THAT GROWS
I DON'T WANT IT
UNLESS I KNOW
THAT EACH PASSING HOUR
SOMEONE SOMEHOW
WILL BE THERE
READY TO SHARE
Greatest Hits + Five Unreleased
is a
Greatest Hits
compilation
released by
American
singer/musician
in 1998.
The album contains hits
from his two
solo albums
Street Talk
(1984)
and
For the Love of Strange Medicine
(1994)
as well as
several previously
unreleased tracks
from the abandoned
solo project
Against the Wall,
as well as demos,
b-sides and
collaborations.
Against the Wall
was originally
going to be Perry's
second solo album.
It was shelved by
a corporate executive
during the time when
Sony Music bought
Columbia Records.
Perry recalled the executive
said he was unsure
about the musical direction
of the album.
Apparently stunned
at this response,
Perry sought legal means
to have the album completed
and released
otherwise but
was unsuccessful.
Sony ultimately
did not release the album.
Seven of these tracks
were later released
on this album
and the others
were released
as bonus tracks
on the 2006
re-issue of
For the Love of Strange Medicine.
He states in
the album booklet
that these songs
all together
should be called
"Better Late Than Never."
