I will stick with Ultimate Collection. The 15-track US version of this (as opposed to the 20-track UK version) has the following songs which are not on Ultimate Collection:
"Marcus Garvey" - great, but see separate view of album Cornbread, upon which it appeared
"Killer Man Jaro" - not good
"Caymanas Park/Dub" - not good
"Natty Kung Fu" - okay
"Three Piece Suit and a Thing" - good
"Left With a Broken Heart" - okay
"Blackboard Jungle" - great
"Don't Take Another Man's Life" - okay
Ultimate Collection also obviously has songs on it that this doesn't have. I'm not going to make the effort to compare those. Overall, UC seems like the better comp, although this one is shorter and so generally I would prefer that. However, in this case, Dillinger has no truly great albums, but a large catalog of great songs, so the longer comp is probably preferable. Plus, I already have it, so I'll stop there. Certainly not going to pick this up for one good and one great song. ps, I also listened to half of Cocaine in the Brain: The Anthology [Trojan, 2004], and it grew so tiresome I gave up.
