5.0 out of 5 stars All the vinyl 12" versions you wanted are HERE!!!!, April 15, 2005

Sure, you have every single Jimmy Sommerville related CD, and probably all the 12 inch singles on vinyl. So, CD1 is all repeats of the songs you have on CD already...but all your favorites are compiled on one disc on the bright side. But disc two is the real charm. Yes, these are the full 12 inch versions you've been wanting on CD, including the 11 minute version of Don't Leave Me This Way with the hot 2 minute orchestral arrangement in the middle--unfortunately, this amazing version fades about 20 earlier than the on the vinyl 12"! Still, this is a must have for fans of the 12" singles. Pick it up while it's still available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Me love it long time, January 19, 2007

A great collection of hits with a terrific bonus disc of 12" mixes. There will be arguments about what is missing here, but some of these mixes have not seen the light of day on CD in a long time (if ever).

Would love to see a double disc of all the collective 12" mixes someday - but this is great until then.

3.0 out of 5 stars mediocre, June 8, 2007

This review is from: The Very Best Of (Collectors Edition) (Audio CD)

I am slightly disappointed to find out after unwrapping the parcel, that the CDs were made in Hong Kong to start with. The first disc which is the 7" single compilation is just fine. However, I am quite disappointed by the second disc which features 12" version of all the hits. This is because some big hit singles such as Never Can Say Goodbye, Comment Te Dire Adieu were not of original extended mix but they were remixes. Especially, the Madame Tata mix version of Comment Te Dire Adieu, which was labelled "remixed" is in fact a dub version. The version I expected is actually the "Commercial Mix". Otherwise it is a worth collected discs though not of top class as it seemed to be called"Limited Edition"
