actually, this is on there too (copied from someone elses list)
------
the day before you came ( 12” extended remix ) – 7:59

apparently there is some confusion about don't tell me..

from another post:
=================
No, it’s not the Remix,

it’s this release:
https://www.discogs.com/de/Blancmange-D ... ase/817344

Side A: Extended with verse 1 and verse 2 Time: 6:31
Side B: Extended with verse 2 Time 6:31

All Blancmange-compilation-CDs contain the version on Side B

I hope maybe the new boxset contains the mix on Side A.

Don’t Tell Me (Remix) is the Dance Remix, on CD it can be found here:
https://www.discogs.com/de/Various-Retr ... ase/267431
or
https://www.discogs.com/de/Various-12-I ... e/10011843

We haven't seen the track times yet have we ? So people are just guessing what mixes are included.

nope, no track times yet.

however, only a few songs, have multiple mixes and edits,
so it's not that hard to figure out for most of them.

Can someone confirm that we now get the album versions of Living On The Ceiling, Waves, Blind Vision, The Day Before You Came & Lose Your Love, instead of the 7'' versions on the 2008 reissues from Edsel.

Alchemy mastering is not a good thing. They often cobble together their "mastering" mainly from existing CD sources and vinyl. They very rarely resort to tape transfers, especially when existing transfers (meaning previously released CD's) exist. I've already read some negative feedback on Amazon UK, though not specifically addressing the MP3 concern. More to do with vinyl transfers, missing notes at the start of a track, etc.

I just checked the amazon US and UK sites for this item. It seems that the US price ($79) is less than 1/2 the UK price.
Am I mistaken? If not, why is this?

I preordered it and it gave me the lowest price my total price was 67 dollars which included shipping.. the US price also will charge tax about another 5 dollars depending on your location.

can you please list the time for all the tracks?

there's a few with question marks, about which versions are what, and that would help in figuring it out.

thanks
