The band Cracker and Virgin Records did not part on the best of terms. Apparently, without informing the band, the label decided to release a Greatest Hits record - Cracker’s Greatest Hits: Get On With It. As you may or may not know, this is standard practice in the industry. Bands don’t make a whole lot of money of these kinds of greatest hits albums. The label owns the masters. What is a band to do? Cracker decided to re-record all their songs the label planned to put out in Greatest Hits (entitled - Get On With It) package and will compete head-to-head at the record stores and online for fans. They also added a bonus song (and others) with direct references to Virgin Records, in a song appropriately titled “It Ain’t Gonna Suck Itself”.
