Me too, but I found out that the Japanese version had a problem with track 2 (my favourite): the intro drum roll was chopped off. On the Wounded Bird version it's okay.

The problem with the Japanese disc was the index points as if I remember rightly they cut The Clubland Mix into 4 tracks and the one for Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey put the start of the track during Salsa Rappsody.

This could have been better.....but nevemind......at least it has got the quite rare debut single and the follow up single "Tonight" on there - also wondered if "Tonight" on the 12" is the same as the 7" version????

Got my copy through from Cherry Red on Tuesday and quibbles about the bonus tracks aside it's a very good CD. They justify the inclusion of Best Years Of Our Lives in the sleeve notes saying it fits in with the "party feel" of the album. Hmmm, not sure I go with that as the two early singles certainly don't fit the party feel, but at least they feature Geoffrey Deane! Some of the period magazine covers in the CD booklet also are from the Michael J Mullins era but these are minor quibbles.

If you haven't heard them (and I hadn't heard Modern Romance the single) the two early singles are quite different, the eponymous one sounds closer to Deane & Jaymes' previous band The Leyton Buzzards than the Latin-y sound of their hits. Tonight is sort of stiff white funk/synthpop vaguely reminiscent of early Spandau Ballet.

The whole CD sounds fine to my ears, I kind of hope Cherry Red will issue the follow up Trick Of The Light (even though it's dreadful, if I remember rightly Smash Hits gave it 0 out of 10) if only in the hope it'll scoop up the post-Adventures Geoffrey Deane tracks for the bonuses. Good sleeve notes and comments from Geoffrey Deane & David Jaymes in the booklet.

Just noticed that Moose On The Loose (Disco Mix) abruptly cuts off at the end. Is that really the way it's supposed to be or a remaster fuck up?
