The set includes an interesting and informative 12-page booklet. Curiously, the booklet's images of original vinyl labels show a comma in the title of "That's Love, That It Is," but the current sleeve and notes do not include that punctuation.

Releasing the extra tracks included in this album on a whole second disc make my pursuit of capturing the significant bands of this period a complete joy. This release puts my vinyl only collection even further into lesser importance. Although no digital replacement can compete with the dearth of great art that came with each twelve inch release, I still appreciate the care taken with this band's music. I intend to buy the rest and hope that other bands and music of this type will be given a proper release.

Great release collecting the singles, b-sides and remixes. But my original CD has a 5:51 version of "The Day Before You Came" where the version included here is the more common 4:25 version. I assume this is the single version and the 5:51 version on my old CD is the original album version. It would have been nice to include the original 5:51 version on the CD as well as the single version - there would have been enough room on the CD. If I'm wrong about the single vs. album versions, please set me straight. But a great release and must have for fans of 80s synthpop.

All 3 Blancmange albums are being remastered and reissued in 2 disc sets with all the 12" mixes and b-sides, due out September 2, 2008!

I was so happy to find this CD, I have the original record but it's packed away and I had forgotten about it. Heard Don't tell me on the radio and immediately tried to download the music on iTunes. Was sad to see it wasn't available, but Amazon had the CD so I bought that instead. Can't say enough good things about this music! Wish music today was like the 80's where most of the songs on a record were good, now you are lucky to get one or two good songs.

A very good cd. 80's sound , synthesized dance music , a pretty good choice of songs for this collection by Blamange. The remixes are good.
My favorite song on this cd is "Game above my head". the only bad thing is
that it is missing the song "Living on the ceiling".

I have been waiting for this to come out for some time now. Very happy to find it came as a 2 disc set and for under ten bucks!!
I highly recommend this to anyone who likes GOOD 80's music!!!
