I've no idea what their 'set' is to be, but I can only hope they'll be playing some of the newer tracks (from Elysium) - they've previously pl...

So I was listening to Charlie's "Lines" CD via my iPod (I got all your releases of yours on for convenience) when this song came on. Towards the end of this song the music begins to fade out as the song appears to be all but over. Then suddenly without warning the song jumps back in fairly loud ju...

Charlie Anthology vs The Best of Charlie!
(Preview)
I do have both but if you had to choose just one of these which would you go with and why? Both CD's tie at 18 songs a piece and song selection looks almost like a mirror reflection of the other. Still wondering why the "NEED" for two when it looks like one will easily suffice. Just curious!
