There really is no need for this but nice choice of songs.

I like the way Sam Riley is pictured instead of Ian

I am so looking forward to this, even though I have pretty much everything anyway....and yes, much as I adored Sam Riley's portrayal he isn't Ian.

Why is this?

The tracklisting is pretty nice
