There seems to be alot of complaints here...I for one will buy it especially if these tracks are remastered...this could be the teaser for a forthcoming remaster campaign.

It's a fantastic way to get most of the core songs on one collection...there looks to be direct artist involvement (Green is a known perfectionist)...but a DVD would be nice...

Would be interesting to find out what a beginner would make of this compilation. On the one hand you have the perfect pop of Cupid & Psyche 85 and Provision then imagine listening to those tracks from Anomie & Bonhomie it would be like what the fuck is this the same band lol apart from Brushed With Oil, Dusted With Powder of course. It took me a while to get into Anomie & Bonhomie and i feel a lot of people felt the same way at the time. I think it would have been more sensible to remaster Cupid and Provision or as many have mentioned released a DVD with it but it's just another opportunity wasted yet again.

It would be better to release a compiltaion spanning all the 80s stuff from 1981-89 and leave the rest for later,i think.

I too will buy this for the remastering.. and hopefully they will be doing the catalogue remasters or this will see if there if interest if it sells.

Like the cover too.

Not too impressed with the new songs. Well maybe i'll have to listen to them a few times over.

Can't say i'm impressed with these either. I will probably buy this for a couple of quid after a few months when it doesn't sell very well. Whoever said one of the tracks sounded like Ke$ha has really increased my decision not to buy this as i hate that crap.

hmmmm, I actually liked them, especially the first one. But I'm a sucker for these reissues; sign me up!

I'll just wait for the proper remasters,if they ever happen. Scritti never really did it for me except for Cupid & Psyche.

Couldn't agree more

According to Amazon/US, this is coming out on March 8, 2001 at the crazy price of $24.99. I'd like to pick this up, but really.... People complain about the HOJO releases, but this is nuts. Like others, I'd much rather see Cupid and Provision, put out in a deluxe format with the extended singles, etc.

£8.99 on play.com

I might give this one a miss. I would prefer a delux edition of Cupid & Psyche.
