Not something I would buy because I don't like 'various artists'-collections anymore, but this looks like a great compilation; Midge Ure, The Cult, Joy Division/New Order/Electronic, Yello, Propaganda, Act, Simple Minds, The Icicle Works, XTC, Scritti Politti etc. Wondering if Laurie Anderson's O Superman is an edit or the full 8-minute-version. I remember at the time (October 1981) that all 7 inch singles had the 8-minute-track.

Ordered. I think this looks cool and will be fun to have on in the background. Lots of really cool tracks. Many by bands that I wouldn't necessarily want a whole album for, but love the one-off track. Anyone know how well this series is mastered?
