Heh... totally not how I deal with compilations. Wikipedia says:

Now we don't have the concept of anthologies...

But then the same article lists the Greatest Hits top of the list of
common types of compilations:

> "Greatest hits", "best of", or "singles collection" LPs, gathering

Not of much help. I'm confused.
