Not a perfect recording but it's being a while since these folks did a Neil Young cover. 

'Old Man' Hanging Up The Moon Cover

In the Peaceville podcast series, former Peaceville Records employee, Dave Pybus, responsible for the layout and design of many classic titles (and perhaps more widely known for his time with Anathema and Cradle of Filth), discusses his days at the company at the start of the 1990s, and talks with some of the bands and artists from back then, reflecting on the ways of the industry and the changes since.

In this latest episode of his 'Peaceville Days' podcast, Pybus talks with Ted Skjellum AKA Nocturno Culto from Norwegian legends Darkthrone about the early days of the band’s recording career and their long-standing association with Peaceville, as well as the evolution of Darkthrone from their death metal beginnings to leaders of the second wave of black metal in the early 90’s.

In collaboration with 'Life is a Hideous Thing,' the official Dave Pybus podcast.

Napalm Death "Nurse the Hunger" (dB085.5)

Not a "Greatest Hit" per se, but easily my favorite (early) Mac song, edited across multiple versions & fidelities to play somewhat seamlessly for over 2 hours, with the mix slowly being eroded by a cavernous echo that is being gated by the dynamics of the dry signal.

EDIT, 06/17/18. I was taken aback by Danny Kirwan's passing a few days after I originally posted this. One of my all-time favorites, esp. within the context of both this lineup of Mac & this particular song; the original studio session which starts off the proceedings here was his first recorded appearance with the band! 

I've taken the original premise & fleshed it out a bit further, so that it can be put it to rest; this revised version uses the following versions of "Albatross" in a program that loops three times; almost entirely dry, then slowly fading in the reverb signal, finally slowly fading out the dry signal:

We are crushed by the terrible news of Sean's passing.
