Isn't this basically "Pioneers Who Got Scalped" with a few exceptions? Had they swapped the Dance Mix of Doctor Detroit with the 7" version instead, I could have been sucked in.

I feel exactly the same Fred. Even some of the more obscure b-sides would have been welcome.

Who needs both versions of Jocko Homo and Mongoloid?

Add in Turn Around, Mecha-Mania Boy, Penetration In The Centrefold, Find Out, Growing Pains, Luv-Luv.

Nothing here for the hardcore fan.

"Luv Luv" would have been awesome!

It turns out "Theme from Doctor Detroit" is indeed the 7" version! First time it's ever been available digitally, AFAIK.

Whaaaaaaaaaaa!?!?!?!? This is awesome and completely unexpected news! Heading over to Qobuz to buy a lossless download of it now!

Thursday October 26th and I am still waiting for the 4LP Clear Vinyl Set Limited & Numbered To 3,000 Rhino.com exclusive box set.
I pre-ordered it the day it was announced and you'd think they would have it all ready to ship out on or before the release date.
Anyone else receive their copy??

It arrived on Halloween.

How is the sound quality on this? I am most interested in the CD version, but curious about the 2023 remastering.
