This EMI sampler CD is part of a series of regular releases. Like the previous one,
If You Want It You Can Have It, this sampler comes in a quite original and nice packaging: a recycled gatefold cardboard sleeve. And on the front a photo with the release title printed on regular paper is stuck. The title of the CD, ‘I’ve Got More Than I Need’ does not echo any Divine Comedy lyrics this time, but a Robbie William song, ‘Let Love Be Your Energy’ which is the opener of the disc.
The Divine Comedy track which is included is the second
Regeneration single, ‘
Bad Ambassador’. The other tracks on the CD are more or less interesting depending on your tastes. Their are all artists from the EMI catalogue, but not necessarily from Parlophone.
A simple tracklisting is printed in white on the back, and a detailed one in black on the inside. Each song comes with a small note about the artist. For The Divine Comedy, it says: “This is the second single to be taken from the superb new album
Regeneration. The band commence a short UK tour in May to support the release which is scheduled for May 7.”
A third EMI sampler of that series,
I’m Reaching Out To You, included the final
Regeneration single, ‘
Perfect Lovesong’.
