These are actually the same as the regular LP versions.

How does the same label release two compilations at the same include the exact same song and mix on both?

Relax (12" New York Mix) - Frankie Goes To Hollywood

And not that we don't already have this on 100 other compilations.

I don't get their logic.

There is no end to this series

I love alternative 80s music - is there anything on this that would warrant a purchase?

Can anyone comment on the sound quality of these?
