I have stood on the sidelines in purchasing this because since the 1986 release, some of the songs have been issued on newer collections. So while, there was some material that wasn't released, given the fact that it was only available as a pricey import on Ebay, Amazon, et al, I bidded my time. My patience was rewarded with a new copy being available for about $20.00 including shipping. Bully for me. Well not quite, I thought that my mind was playing tricks on me. At first I thought this was some international mix, not targeted to consumers in the US, or UK. Then I realized that in the 80's someone signed off on rerecording and remixing these tunes. At this point I am not sure if it more disappointing that the original tracks were not used intact, or that even in the 80's anyone thought that the tracks were good. I survived the 80's and musically the decade is lampooned, but it did have more than a few good moments. This sadly was not one of them.
