Why?

Why not just put both albums on one disc and call it a day.

Still looking for my girl with auburn hair and tawny eyes...

Yet another missed opportunity for "The Other Side Of Love", which was sadly missing on the 1999 "Best Of" collection as well. Also, this collection would have been a perfect opportunity to include "Get Set", which was missing from the 2008 "In Your Room" box set.

I guess Alison + Vince are not too keen on that track, they didn't even play it live on the Reconnected Tour - maybe they vetoed it?
Would be the only thing I can imagine.

it still p***es me off, that they didn't include it in the box and simply used it as additional item to sell the digital version of the livealbum on Itunes...

Seems like EMI Gold is keen on those Essential CDs now - at least the Yazoo tracklist isn't as bad as Erasure's... That one includes a whopping 4 songs from their 2003 cover album!

Exactly. And yes, that Erasure "Essential" track listing is bad! I laughed when I saw it.

Maybe EMI realized just how bad the track list is and decided to pull it from the market. With that said, given that Yazoo only released 2 albums and a few non-album singles, a "best of" or "essential" collection is totally unnecessary. Nonetheless, here's an idea of what I would have included if I were in charge of the track list:

01 Only You
02 Situation [U.S. 12" Mix]
03 Happy People
04 Goodbye '70s
05 Nobody's Diary
06 State Farm
07 The Other Side Of Love
08 Ode To Boy
09 Don't Go
10 Winter Kills
11 Walk Away From Love
12 Good Times
13 Too Pieces
14 Bring Your Love Down (Didn't I)
15 Anyone
16 Mr. Blue
17 Bad Connection
18 Midnight
19 Get Set [CD debut/previously available only as a digital download]
CD Only Bonus Tracks:
20 In My Room [David Jansen BBC Session]
21 Situation [Daniel Miller/Mark Saunders 12" Mix]
22 Only You [1999 Mix]
