The disc of remixes described in the editorial review is NO LONGER INCLUDED in this greatest hits set. On its own merits, this is still the best single-disc compilation available for this group, but don't buy it expecting to get a second disc of remixed rarities.

Buy it, instead, for every charting single the Bangles had--as well as Susanna Hoffs' sole Top 40 hit, "My Side of the Bed"--and an excellent selection of album tracks, and you'll be satisfied. (Then, if you still want more, pick up the Bangles' excellent reunion album from last year, DOLL REVOLUTION. With harmonies and jangling guitars intact, it was a solid return after 15 years apart.)

A friend just got me this cd from my wish list for Christmas. I really wanted it since based on the reviews, there were a bunch of extended remixes on it. I've got most of the other tracks already. However, when it arrived, it turns out it only contains one disc, not two. There are no remixed tracks. Just 21 tracks and not even in the same order as listed on the track listing on this page. Needless to say I'm very disappointed and I feel badly that my friend paid out nearly $20 for something I don't really need.

I personally don't care for re-mixes. But I would buy this just for the extended versions on the second disk. The songs are really opened up. I have probably listened to it more frequently than any other single disk I own.

I bought this collection about 5 years ago. There were two disc included with mine; howerver, the remixes excluding "Walk Like Egyptian" are not the club versions I remember. They are extended versions, but nothing like the versions on their 12" Mixes cd released back in 1987. The sound was horrible on this budget release though.

The sound quality on these discs are superb. I'm not going to complain. The remixes were better on the 87' disc, but the sound quility really sucked. If you were lucky enough to get this two disc version collection, you hit the jackpot. It appaers this release is only available as a single disc now.

This CD contains great remixes of the already fantastic hits by who else, the Bangles! Very Catchy tunes and Rythms are on this album! Worth the price! (very good price at that!)^_^ I love this album and do recommend it to any Bangles fan who likes remixes or just likes to collect their stuff, I know I do Both so, happy listening!^_~

I bought this album 2 years ago and it has all their hits and includes a bonus cd with their remixes, I think I'm lucky to have this one because,as I read in other reviews today it doesn't have the bonus cd with the remixes, That's why I rated with 3 stars, now.

This is a wonderful mix of many different Bangle's songs. It even has four from Susanna Hoffs' two solo albums. There are great hits such as Walk Like An Egyptian, Manic Monday, Eternal Flame, and Hazy Shade Of Winter.

this is a Feel Good Group.the Bangles had Catchy Songs.Walk Like an Egyptian,If She Knew What She Wants,Hero Takes a Fall,Walking down your street.but it was The PRINCE SOng Manic Monday that took them over the top.that Song Captures The 60's Vibe in Early 80's Material.The Bangles had some Good Moments&this Set Captures that.

"Walking Down Your Street" and "If She knew What She Wanted" are the only good songs the Bangles have done. "Walk Like an Egyptian" should be buried like an Egyptian! It belongs in the toilet! I hate it! It is a very stupid song. Real Egyptians didn't walk around in right angles with their arms akimbo all the time. That dumb part about the donut shop adds nothing good nor relevant to this saga of silliness. This song really stinks. This is not worth buying.
