3.0 out of 5 stars not all extended versions, January 9, 2005

I bought this CD because the other compilations in this series (by Rebound Records) do include a lot of 12" versions. This one mostly contains ablum versions, though. Here's the correct track list and track lengths:
1) Relax (album version) 3:57
2) Venus (a bad re-edit of the album version with some measures repeated) 4:26
3) Something About You (Pettibone Extended Remix) 5:48
4) She Blinded Me With Science (Edit - this isn't even the full album version) 3:43
5) Shoud (album version edit - shortened by 30 seconds) 5:59
6) Let Me Go (album version?) 4:17
7) Vacation (album version) 3:01
8) The Look Of Love (1990 Remix - from the Absolutely greatest hits album) 4:39
9) Obsession (Dance Mix edit - shortended by 30 seconds) 5:37
10) The Politics of Dancing (extended version?) 6:35
11) Tainted Love (1991 Extended Remix - from the Memorabilia greatest hits album) 5:54
12) Come On Eileen (edit without the violin intro) 4:00

As soon as i heard these songs i went back in time, back in time to when i felt carefree, (i'm 29) and was excited about music from that decade, and i always make sure i play songs like these in my car VERY LOUD!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that great..., September 21, 2002

This review is from: World of Dance: New Wave- The 80's (Audio CD)

This CD contains "extended club versions" of the many of the tracks, including Tainted Love and a few others. While this can be ideal for dancing, which is the purpose of this series, it doesn't allow the track to flow as well as it's Single version, which is what most complilations consist of. Don't pay too much for this disc. There are much better compilations out there.
