There's the standard, best-of singles collection for those unfortunate enough never to have listened to the restaurant-torching trio before now - and for the fans a triple disc package containing the aforementioned disc of A-sides, a disc containing all the band's b-sides and (just in case you didn't already have enough non-sequitors in your life) a third disc containing demos and live tracks.
Carefully selected by messir Andy Falkous, Mcluskyism looks set to prove once and for all that not only was their band better than your band; they really did have more songs than a song convention.
Sing it!
