Yes, it's a new "greatest hits" package, with many of the songs in previous collections...the big difference is: 2009 REMASTERS!!!!! These remasters, post "Odessa" are the first time they're released...previous packages by Rhino like "Greatest Hits: The Record" and "Gold", plus "Love Songs" and "Vol 1" & "Vol 2" are not just OLD masters, but straight reissues from Universal...NOT 2009 REMASTERS!!!! Did you like the remasters on the album reissues so far??? "Odessa" was killer, right?? Take that quality of remaster and add it to their whole catalogue...it's a taste of what's to come!! I popped on CD1..."You Should Be Dancing"...the difference is instantaneous...the remasters in your face...I heard instruments that were BURIED...percussion parts, bits of piano, guitar riffs, a warmer sound...I did NOT expect this at ALL...my eyes popped out of my skull...and there was no advance word of this type of KILLER remastering...it wasn't hyped like the new Beatles remasters, but these remasters are on par with the Beatles...one of the most shocking (in the best way possible) remaster jobs I've ever heard...now I REALLY need the rest of the remastered catalogue ASAP...I have "The Albums 1967 to 1968" and "Odessa", now this...WOW!!! Oh yeah, the DVD is fun to watch, the packaging is not cheesy AT ALL...the discs are well-protected and secure...the notes are well-written, and the pics are nice...my two complaints are on the edits of "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "Secret Love", cuz they are a bit short, but they could be UK 7" single versions...yet the edit on FWTBT was much more jarring on "The Greatest Hits: The Record"...also, while the first disc is nicely filled up...78 minutes & change...the second disc tops out at 68 minutes and end with a short 3-song live medley of songs that others covered...instead, they could have put the studio versions ("Islands In The Stream", "Heartbreaker" & "Guilty") and added the missing songs from "The Record"..."Immortality" (Demo), "Love Me", Robin's solo "Saved By The Bell", maybe the title track to "Odessa", as that was a cancelled single and "First Of May", whilst a great song, doesn't represent the masterpiece "Odessa" opus too well...maybe "Paying The Price Of Love"...they could have filled up 15 minutes of space easily...small quibbles...GREAT package...and again, those 2009 remasters KILL ME...if the new 2009 remaster of "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" doesn't give you chills like never before, something's VERY wrong with your ears...sorry.
I also wish the DVD was a FULL video collection, but this is just a taste...something will come...I wish the clips of "This Is Where I Came In", "When He's Gone" and "Paying The Price Of Love" were included...but I'm happy the rare UK & Europe-wide #1 hit "You Win Again" (#75 US, dispicable) clip is on there...love the 80s arty industrial feel...and Mo's guitar synth!!!! Overall, this package stunned me cuz I didn't expect the remastering to bowl me over like it did, and it's a taste of what's to come...woohoo!!!
