When i bought this cd i didn't really know what to expect.I didn't know what the cd contained,so i bought it and tryed to tell myself that the cd would be great and i would love it(i prayed)!
Well it has brightned my music collection(including the packaging)!The cd is mixed by a japanese dj, which is cool, and has some great tracks both upbeat and slow taken from previous albums,12"s and ep's all with those groovy melodys that i love.
There are also tracks that i hadn't heard before.I highly recommend this cd,it is a beautiful mix of tracks that any P5 fan will love.
Check out the farewell message from Nomiya Maki at the end of the cd.
Happy listening!

if you only have the US releases this is worth getting as the majority of the tracks never made it onto a US release. however, if you think you're going to be a P5 completist, i'd definitely recommend skipping over this and picking up an album or another P5 compilation instead. the reason is that this is a "mixed" CD and so tracks bleed into each other and have other random samples on top of them, and worse than that the tracks are often shortened. so if you're looking for a non-US P5 compilation CD, instead you should get -big hits and jet lags (1994-1997)- which is a fantastic collection of mostly non-US singles and definitely worth the import price. -great white wonder- is a great collection of b-sides also, but i'd def. get big hits and jet lags first.

here's the tracklisting btw. i'm not 100% sure on the sources though, in terms of which version was used.
