I agree!
I prefer more original albums (I listen mostly the album entities, not only some songs from the albums) than the compilations, but if I listen compilations, I like that kind of compilations that includes rare material a lot. It is usually good solution to put songs in the compilation in releasing order, but I have some compilations where the songs arenīt in original releasing order and it has also worked when there has been taste with the order.
The most important reason why I donīt have Sonic Youthīs compilations Screaming fields and Hits are for the squires is that there is so little rare material.
In various artistīs compilations I also prefer that, how rare material is. Nuggets II (4cd box) is good example of that. Most of the material is very hard to find anywhere, because there are lots of bands that has made only few singles.
