There are so many features that make this incredible edition of "Fever" the ONLY version to own, I don't know where to begin. Here's a brief breakdown:

-The US radio editions of the singles, most notably the rare and almost-impossible-to-find Ruff & Jam version of "Love At First Sight"

-The B-sides "Good Like That" , "Baby" , "Can't Get Blue Monday Out Of My Head" , "Whenever You Feel Like It" , and "Tightrope"
These are all really excellent, and deserved to be on the album the first time around.

-The remixes are kind of hit-and-miss in my opinion, but the good ones are really on the mark.

-The videos for all four singles from the album ("Can't Get You Out Of My Head" , "In Your Eyes" , "Love At First Sight" , and "Come Into My World")

Even though it is a bit expensive, it is worth it to have all of this on 2 CDs. Get it now!!!

Kylie Minogue has accomplished a lot during the past year and a half. She toured a good pop concert, received generally positive reviews for "Fever", sold millions of copies of it, and broke into the States with her biggest hit "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", the previous hits being the late 80s SAW (Stock, Aitken, Waterman) cheese pop of "Loco-Motion" and "I Should Be So Lucky".

The Hyper Edition is an almost complete culmination of the material from her "Fever" era. Released in Japan, CD 1 contains the original album, plus four b-sides. It's polished, inoffensive, Euro, electro-pop. Although it's slickness can wear thin clocking in at over an hour.

CD 2 is the reason to buy this package. It contains three mixes of "Head", two of "In Your Eyes", two for "Love At First Sight", and the brilliant electroclash take on "Come Into My World", remixed by none other than Fischerspooner. The featured b-sides "Whenever You Feel Like It" and "Tightrope" are some of the best songs to come from this era (even better than some of the album songs).

All four videos for "Head", "Sight", "Eyes", and "Come Into My World" are found on CD 2. Directed by the talents of Johan Renck, Michel Gondry, and Dawn Shadforth, each video is a nice companion to the appropriated song.

Record companies are known for milking fans for their money, and "Fever" has many "editions". This is the best one hands down.

I think this may well be the best packaging of any Japan album that has been made! It is PACKED with loads of stuff compared to the original release of the album! Nobody can quite package an album like the Japanese can... It's just amazing! This version of the album, and the original version if that, are definately love at first sight! Anyway, here's what you get!:

~ Disc 1 includes the full 12-track album plus 4 bonus tracks. 3 B-Sides including Boy, Good Like That and my personal favourite Baby, plus a very good track called Butterfly, from the Light Years album!

This disc is worth the album alone but the second disc is also very great!!!

~ Disc 2 includes remixes of hits such as Can't Get You Out Of My Head (2 remixes), In Your Eyes (2 remixes), Love At First Sight (2 remixes) including the US Ruff And Jam Version & Come Into My World, the very excellent Fisherspooner Mix.

~ Disc 2 includes Whenever You Feel Like It, a track from the Scooby Doo soundtrack and Tightrope, another excellent B-Side. It Also features Can't Get Blue Monday Out Of My Head, but that can be classed as a remix of Can't Get You Out Of My Head I suppose. It is, dare I say?!?!, better than the original!

~ Disc 2 includes 4 excellent music videos. Including the superb smash Can't Get You Out Of My Head, the excellent videos for In Your Eyes and Love At First Sight, which are both quite similar, plus my personal favourite Kylie video (along with Did It Again, not on this album) Come Into My World!

The remixes, videos, new tracks, singles and album tracks from the album 'Fever' (Japan Hyper Edition) are excellent! Pick it up if you find it! Despite the expensive and high price tag, it is still well-worth it!

I cant thank EMI Japan enough for releasing what has to be the best edition of the 'Fever Special Edition' yet! This edition includes all the classic remixes, b-sides and the original CD. Other than being rather [costly], it remains THE edition to purchase. Get it while supplies last.

if you already have Fever or not U have noooo idea what are you missing , This is the best Kylie Package since the Tour edition Of Light Years.

there was already this special edition BUT it didn't include the B sides and 3 more songs and the 4 videos on CD NO 2 that version was released around the world except the US and in Japan they released this excellent version

Well, I already owned a copy of Fever, but I'm a collector of Kylie. I think this was well worth the cost. The rare tracks, "Good Like That, Baby, Whenever You Feel Like It, and Tightrope," are great, and I have no idea why they weren't included on the album, rather than the two tracks that I hate. And tho I'm NOT complaining, I don't understand why "Butterfly" was included, as its from Light Years. The remixes are also a plus, as its nice to get some variety and a new spin on the widely recognized "CGYOOMH." (And its true, the slipcase actually says "ButterFRY," not "ButterFLY.")

You get the original album, with 6 ADDITIONAL SONGS!!!! And we're not just talking about "cast-offs". We're talking additional B-sides that will get your booty shaking. "Good Like That", "Boy", "Baby", "Butterfly", "Tightrope", and "Whenever You Feel Like It". You all seriously need to purchase this Japanese import as it also includes the amazingly spectacular video for "Come Into My World" which will blow your mind.

I bought mine used on here for half the amount. I suggest you do the same. I got mine within 3 days. And on a funny side note...the outside cover of this japanese limited edition lists the song Butterfly as "Butterfry". I swear...it does.

I highly recommend getting this!

If there were ever a question such as "Why is Kylie the Queen of Pop and Dance Music," here is your answer. "Fever" sets the platinum standard for these genres with its flawless combination of Kylie's sultry, smooth and breathtaking vocal flair combined with masterful songwriting collaboration with Cathy Dennis, Rob Davis, Richard Stannard and Julian Gallagher (to name but a few). This set is a deejay's best friend. Kylie has the knack for turning up the heat with stunning results.

Prime examples of Kylie's genius and talent break forward on tracks such as "Fever," "In Your Eyes" and "Dancefloor" (sultry and purely alluring with dance syncopation that gets to your soul). "Love At First Sight" is yet another diamond in this set with its pure EuroDance flair and, as always, smooth polish of Kylie's spunk and verve. What's more, as a perfect pairing, "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" and "Come Into My World" both define the club anthem attitude and sound.

As "Light Years" set the stage for Kylie's continued reign into the 21st century as the pop and dance music queen, "Fever" proves that Kylie retains that title.

"Highlights include "Fragile", "Give It To Me" and "Love Affair"
