Earache Records, in cooperation with Carcass, is proud to announce the
release of the long delayed Carcass compilation, 'Choice Cuts'.

Originally intended for release in 1999, this 'Best-of' compilation was
shelved indefinitely by the label following the news of drummer Ken
Owen's critical illness. (After suffering a sudden brain hemorrhage in
1999, Owen spent ten months in a coma, followed by a long period of
rehabilitation.) Some promo copies of the original 'Choice Cuts' were
manu-factured but were immediately withdrawn from circulation, in
compliance with the band's wishes.
In the intervening years, fans of the band have repeatedly asked when
the release would see the light of day, but with Ken still very ill it
was deemed inappropriate to issue the collection. Still the questions
and requests concerning the release continued...

After running a retrospective interview last year on Earache.com with
vocalist/bassist Jeff Walker and a much improved Ken Owen, Earache
approached the band with the idea of finally, officially, releasing
'Choice Cuts'. As a result, 'Choice Cuts' will now be issued in its
entirety under the the coordination of Ken Owen, who has slightly
amended the original tracklisting and will undertake a full interview
for the release, to be included in the liner notes of the album. Owen's
interview covers the band's career, his critical illness and ongoing
recovery, as well as the recording of the band's two Peel Sessions,
which were recorded in 1988-90 for BBC Radio One's famed DJ John Peel,
and are included on 'Choice Cuts' for the first time on Earache. The
interview will be complemented with material from Owen's personal
archives as well as unseen photos from the Earache archives.

'Choice Cuts' documents Carcass' extraordinary influence on the
international metal scene, from their origins as gore-grind pioneers to
their later status as melodic death metal kings, until their split in
1996. From the raw, vile assaults of 'Genital Grinder' and 'Exhume to
Consume' to the majestic anthems of 'Buried Dreams' and 'Keep on Rotting
in the Free World', 'Choice Cuts' provides a comprehensive view of
Carcass -- the band that slaughtered, chopped, diced, chewed up and spit
out the curve, rather than merely staying ahead of it. Perhaps rivaling
the Beatles and the Rolling Stones as the most influential
band ever to arise from the UK, Carcass left an indelible stain on the
face of metal; for old fans and newcomers alike, 'Choice Cuts' is the
ultimate compilation of this legendary band's noise.

Isn't that the name of an Imapled album? With out takes and all that stuff?

Yep

Choice Cuts is a common name given to cds that have unreleased crap on it and shit like that.

Earache should call it "Ca$h Cuts".

Isn't "Wake Up And Smell The CARCASS" a best-of already?

It's Carcass.If you don't like it, don't get it.

Wake Up And Smell the Carcass sucks, this is slightly better.

Wake Up and Smell the Carcass is mostly outtakes and unreleased shit, I think, even though I have the fucking thing.
