(Almost) happy with the tracklist, but shame about skipping the Past, Present & Future album. Would have liked to see that one included it it's entirety after the Mystery album. But this compilation/remix album is 'sort of' included on the Remixes & Rarities CD's, except for the track Star Dance (!). From what I can see at the moment: where is the Super Nova Mix of Clouds Across The Moon and where is the Apocamix of What'll Become Of The Children? (!?). Also, I wonder if Float (12'' Remix) is actually the Bubble Mix (?!).

Mine arrived earlier last week, very pleased with it and I'm pretty happy to have the unreleased album Something About the Music in its original form. Almost everything is from the master tapes too, with the exception of the track "A Woman's Life" which had to be sourced from a vinyl rip. I commented about this on Discogs and the curator of this set actually responded to me about it, saying it was because its master tape was too far gone to recover (that's old magnetic media for ya!).
