5.0 out of 5 stars Uh, at least TWO UNDER PAR, October 29, 2005

I couldn't disagree with the previous reviewer more. I find the versions on this collection to be more interesting, more cohesive, and generally pleasing to listen to than the original AoC album. The "bizarre dialog" featured in Junk is hilarious in my opinion, and I think Why works a lot better on this one than the original. I can put this cd in and just let it go - the flow is terrific - and I can't stress enough how skillfully done the remixing is - a lot of tracks on this collection show just how this should be done. A couple tracks (Cadillac Car esp) could be omitted, but I think it's just as likely that someone else might pick a different two to drop - matter of preference vs. actually bad tracks. Bottom line, if you like these guys, I'd try to at least get a listen in rather than just taking any reviewer's word for it (including this one's).

Edit: Recently came across this explanation (from the producer) regarding the making of the album: [...]

1.0 out of 5 stars This CD is terrible, September 3, 2007

I was expecting this CD to have the same content as the vinyl album of the same title. That's not unreasonable, is it? But NO, this is not the same album! If you have Hundreds & Thousands on vinyl and you want the same music on CD then DON'T buy this! You should buy the Age of Consent CD instead because it contains the full contents of the vinyl Hundreds & Thousands plus extra stuff - and most of the extra songs are just as good.

I just thought someone should say something about the tracks often cited as below par in other reviews. Cadillac Car, Infatuation / Memories and Close To The Edge were all B-sides to the original Age Of Consent singles. They aren't on the vinyl edition of Hundreds & Thousands and are included on the CD edition as bonus tracks. No, they're not up to the standard of other tracks - there's a reason they were used as b-sides - but it's nice to have them on CD.
