as I recall, this record deal was signed a couple of years back and that
Pop was the first record on the deal.
But I could be mistaken about that part.
As for the greatest hits albums -- all three of them are part of a totally
separate record deal made specifically for the release of the Best Of
discs. That deal was signed only a month or two ahead of the release of the
1980-90 disc last year.
if anyone else has further info, feel free to ad.
I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing some details.
