Mark 'E' Everett's ever-changing Eels project are celebrated on two hefty compilations, scheduled for release on January 21, 2008. "Meet The EELS: Essential EELS Vol. 1, 1996-2006" features 24 of their most famous tracks - though it also includes a previously unreleased take on Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On". The package also includes a DVD with 12 of the band's promo videos. Meanwhile, "EELS Useless Trinkets: B-Sides, Soundtracks, Rarities and Unreleased 1996-2006" has 50 tracks sprawling across two CDs, and promises to be something of the motherlode for hardcore Eels fans. Cover versions on this one include Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put A Spell On You”, James Carr’s “Dark End of The Street” and Prince’s “If I Was Your Girlfriend.” It comes with a six-track DVD filmed at their Lollapalooza Festival show in 2006.
