I agree. I'm excited about new Chili Peppers - but I really want to play the songs again that I already bought. This would have been the perfect opportunity to upgrade them too.

It's the same beef I had with the Soundgarden pack.

I concur sir. Don't brag about "old" tracks unless you're going to give us the real bangers. I hate copyright laws...don't even get me started on the exclusion of Nirvana's epic "In Utero" album even though we have almost everything else!

Ha.

I approve of more RHCP though. I've had Californication sitting in my car's CD player for the past month. Nice timing.

[Jglaubman]

Sweet... although Parallel Universe is probably my least favorite song on Californication.

Also, this will be my first full pack purchase since David Bowie.
