>Oh, please--there were 4 cuts total on the collector's edition

I never said otherwise.  But of those 4 songs, 2 were from a recent radio 
broadcast, 1 was a remix (which was also available on other singles) and 
the last track was just the album version of "Sixes And Sevens".  It's 
nothing special -- just one of MANY maxi-singles that Plant and Page 
released in the '80s and '90s.

>there were 19 cuts of material that wasn't from his
>previous albums on 66.

I never said otherwise.  But all but TWO of those 19 songs were previously 
released on B-sides, soundtracks, etc.  It's not like Plant was releasing a 
wealth of unreleased material on "66 To Timbuktu".

>I think you are skewing the facts just a teensy bit, not me.

Let's revisit what you said:

>Sixty-Six to Timbuktu [has] a few cuts from previous albums

12 tracks are taken directly from previous albums; 4 more are alternate 
versions of album tracks.  Still think that qualifies as "a few"?

>There was also the cute teeny live album of
>retro stuff and current goodies

1. It's not an album
2. It's not a live album (half the songs are studio recordings)
3. It's not "retro" (unless you count the ONE NEW live version of an old song)

>Who cares, really?
>You folks will just fob the facts off as the ravings of

>I'm accused of being guilty of shameless promotion.

Hey, you're the one who brought up a 20-year-old EP in an (apparent) 
attempt to pad Plant's discography!

Later,
