Greatest Hits, So Far compilation

In 1990, Public Image Ltd’s song “The Order of Death” (from This is What You Want… This is What You Get ) was prominently featured in Richard Stanley ‘s film Hardware . That same year saw the release of PiL’s first compilation album The Greatest Hits, So Far , which featured one new song, the environmentally themed single “Don’t Ask Me”. The rest of the album consisted of previously released material, though remixes of several songs were used rather than original album versions and the album remake of “This is Not a Love Song” was included rather than the original single version. Lydon claims that he wanted the album to be 28 tracks long; the eventual 14-track listing was a compromise with Virgin Records (who, according to Lydon, originally wanted only eight tracks). The compilation, which boasted album-sleeve artwork by Reg Mombassa , made No. 20 on the UK Albums Chart .
