well cispas would be right about too many compilations, BUT this liiks like it is going to be singles and b sides - and that thing we definitely need. too bad for the latest reissues of their albums where the included extra songs, but for some reason not all the b sides. I hope that the 2cd/3cd versions will have all a and b sides on them, as the box set will be way too expensive. So cannot wait to see the tracklist(s)

The superdeluxe boxset is a joke. Who wants 33 discs to deal with?? I know the Stones did this too, as have others. NFW.

The Singles Collection is a 2CD set and will be the first time all of their singles have been compiled in one place.
Gatherers have been wanting this for years and I can't wait.
The rarities disc is fantastic, but still incomplete...could've easily been expanded to a 2CD set.
The Super Deluxe is steep but will be definitely be a collectors item IF they get produced...not sure if this will pre-sell enough to warrant production.
This is the perfect way to clear the decks for what's coming in late 2013 - the new LP - and of course, the long overdue Killing Joke In Dub set.
And of course, for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere, the return of the mightiest live band to Australian/New Zealand shores!

"..an aluminium screw top branded cigar tube containing original wrappers of cigars smoked by Jaz Coleman and Paul Raven during the recording of Hosannas From The Basements Of Hell"...
For next "Best off..." I expect empty bottle of Macallan 15yo Fine Oak whisky...

makes you grateful that they did not entertain women during the sessions. I hate to think what kind of wrapping would that box set include.

Nice to see the release of the regular version of Four Stations Of The Sun on cd though...

The 2cd version (i.e. without the rarities) is available on iTunes & Spotify.

and I am officially dissapointed. No B-sides. What a wasted opportunity.

There seems to be a 7" version of "Eighties" which clocks at 3:35.

If this is correct then the version included on this CD is a different one (3.47 according to I-Tunes). Looks more like the album version.
Btw: The B-side version of this 7" single is called "Eighties (The Coming Mix)" (3.33). Has this version ever been released on cd?
Thanks for any help.

Are there two versions of the "Coming Mix"? A short one (3.33) and a longer one (3.57)?
