This review is from: Original Gold (Audio CD)

This new collection has an interesting assortment of tracks, some European hits, certainly not most of the more popular U.S. tracks. There are a lot of glaring omissions, "The Thin Wall" and "The Voice" being but a couple. So why give it such a good rating? Well, not for the Midge Ure solo tracks, 3 all together, nor the later period "U Vox" material, another four or so songs. The reason this is an interesting and enjoyable collection is the B sides and inclusion of non-album tracks like "Monument" and "Herr X." There's a good hour of difficult to find material which makes this good value. Of the music considered hits most are available elsewhere but at the price of this 2 CD release if you've been looking to replace your singles you'll find most of them here. Still wish they would have tossed all the "U Vox" material (incredibly dated sounding) and focused on a more cohesive album. Then again "The Collection" which is a domestic release has almost every song a new listener would want.
