I only worry about the possibility of Body with Meat because it might be too late now. I still think though, a scenario like VERY BEST OF... with those songs included.
I did think that you could have had two versions, one with Meat, one with I dunno Bieber, like with Boyzone "No matter what". Don't know why that couldn't happen.
I'm just going to say this. Let GOING ALL THE WAY be the test for this album. If you like that, fuck the rest, because this is all that matters.
