I bet the income from Bjork stuff must finance the entire artist roster of One Little Indian.

True - I've bought a fair few Bjork/Sugarcube CD's in my time!

Does anyone know if the "Post Live" CD features contributions from Graham? I know that Graham supported Bjork on her Post tour...

yes, but Bjork isn't their only artist of repute-The Shamen were, too, and they topped the charts...but that isn't the point. I don't have any Bjork stuff-should I get the greatest hits, or something else?

Well considering Colin Angus is probably deep in some jungle hanging out with the Witch Doctor of some weird tribe, I don't think the Shamen will be releasing too much. But the amount of bjork releases is a freakin' joke, I've a friend here in Belfast who collects every Bjork release it's as bad as Nick with New Order and 808.

And Orb, KLF, Gerald, Orbital, etc

And, yeah, The Shamen probably also contributed to OLI's success, although the band acrimoniously split from the label in the late '90's.

They do seem to be milking Bjork a little (not actually milking her of course - that would be wrong!) and she's probably keeping OLI afloat!
Mind you, they do have Alabama 3 and Fluke are now signed to them.

I remember buying a Shamen DVD collection on OLI a couple of years ago, but certainly no box sets like Bjork.
