The Absolute Collection
2012 greatest hits album by Garbage
The Absolute Collection is the second greatest hits album by American-Scottish alternative rock band Garbage. It was released in Australia and New Zealand on November 2, 2012 on their own label Stunvolume, via Liberation Music,[1] and supersedes the band's previous major label compilation, Absolute Garbage.[2] The album was released in advance of the band's 2013 tour dates throughout both countries.[3]
The collection compiles a run of singles from the band's career, including the band's three Australian top twenty hits "Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)", "Breaking Up the Girl" and "Why Do You Love Me". It followed the release of their fifth studio album, Not Your Kind of People, which reached the top ten earlier in 2012.[4] The Absolute Collection charted at #88[5] for a single week on the ARIA Charts.[6]
In 2015, The Absolute Collection was remastered for iTunes. On this re-release, "#1 Crush" was replaced with the original version from Garbage: 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition.[7]
