Man, that's a stupid headline.
Anyway - I knew Cracker had re-recorded some of their songs last year, but I didn't know the story behind it. Turns out Virgin, the record label that dropped them, was planning to release Cracker's greatest hits without the band's input. The Cracker guys were a little pissed about that, so they re-recorded all the songs on Virgin's version of their Greatest Hits album, added a bonus track and released an all-new Greatest Hits album on the same day that Virgin released theirs.
Here's more on the story form BloggingMuses, and an interview with David Lowery of Cracker on CMJ.com.
