It really doesn't get much better than this--although, it would have been nice if they had released both A&M CDs separately with the bonus tracks, and not made it such a limited edition pressing (I believe there are only 4000 in print). Simply having the 4 full length 12" versions from the Blah Blah CD is reason enough to buy this set. FINALLY, a record company gets it right.

A fine release and all, yet pretty much for the Iggy Pop completists and die-hards. You get, disc one: 1986's 'Blah Blah Blah' reissue, disc two: 1988's 'Instinct' and on disc three: his 'Live At The Boston Channel, 1988'. However, first two CD's feature four bonus tracks each of remixes, extended versions, etc. of otherwise unavailable cuts. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good find.

This is the right way to do the things: include all THE REMIXES that we, the collectors, are looking for.
