Lloyd Cole [and the Commotions] - The Collection [1998] vs. The Singles [2004]

Here are the album covers:

Here are the differences in track listings:

The Collection (20 tracks):

"Undressed" - Lloyd Cole [w/Quine]
"My Way To You" - Bad Vibes
"Fool You Are" - previously unreleased
"That Boy" - The Negatives

The Singles (21 tracks):

w/Commotions - "Cut Me Down" - Easy Pieces
w/Commotions - "From The Hip" - Mainstream
"Weeping Wine" - Don't Get Weird on Me Babe
"Morning Is Broken" - Bad Vibes
"Sentimental Fool" - Love Story

They both share the following 7 tracks with the 14-track Lloyd Cole and the Commotions compilation entitled 1984-1989:

"Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken?"
"Perfect Skin"
"Forest Fire"
"Rattlesnakes"
"Brand New Friend"
"Lost Weekend"
"My Bag"
"Jennifer She Said"

I went with The Singles, because it was cheaper and easier to find, even though the 4 songs on The Collection were probably better than those 5 on The Singles, and even though the former has the extra track with Quine. I also am shallow and liked the cover better.
