although together in electric dreams is on some compilations, i never consider it a real human league track.

it's a philip oakey solo song with giorgio moroder. so whats the point.

if the tracklisting is real, then it looks like a good compilation. i'll be getting it.

Looks pretty decent . Wish they'd included Seconds (inst.) and Are You Ever Coming Back (edit) as well.

they don't seem to have the deluxe CD version up yet just the two CD , I think they said that the tracklisting that got leaked out may be tweaked so that maybe why it hasn't come out yet

If they had any decency they would surely omit that performance of Rock 'n' Roll - Part 2 on the DVD.

Why? It's an interesting piece of music history.

if you're going to object to issues like that, just don't buy it.
(i'm not saying you're wrong)

He's in prison so he gets nothing of his portion (the rest of course goes to Mike Leander's estate) and what he does get all goes into a trust fund that he has no access to.

I won't be buying it because the only thing remotely interesting about it is the 3rd CD in the super deluxe and no doubt they will be asking a small fortune for that.

It's a well-known fact that HL were hugely influenced by Gary Glitter - so they covered Rock'n'Roll. Why should they omit it I can't understand - to do so is to chuck away an important bit of the band's history and creative development, the things that this compilation seems to try to highlight or at least check. The offending person's completely discredited and in prison so he got his due, case closed. No reason to dwell on this subject.

how much is a small fortune. it's not even a site exclusive (like the abc boxset), so it really doesn't matter how much it ends up costing.

everything gets discounted nowadays, at other sites besides amazon.

there are plenty of places to get a substantial savings if you wait also.

anyone that pays full price for compilations nowadays, has never heard of the internet or google.
