Not sure what was wrong with the 2 disc one last year, but my Amazon recommendations have just popped up with this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000PHX0VO/ref=pe_pe_3451_6038171_pe_snp_0VO

If the track listing is right, nothing from Kingsize or EAF at all...?

Interesting track selection. missing the singles like ride the tiger, free huey and wishing i was skinny, yet album tracks like spun around, 4am conversation, and get on the bus are on it? And yeah, nothing from kingsize or everything's alright forever

Eaf wasn't anything to do with sony and i can only guess that they have forgotten about Kingsize.

I won't be buying it.

Is it remastered, with a glorious 128 glossy book, new sleeve notes and a disc of extras that don't exist?

HA! I've just noticed Spun Around's on it. That should terrify the casual "Wake Up Boo" buyer!!

15 songs is ridiculous...

but I quite liked that selection.

These two opinions may be indirectly related.

They are also related to my liking for EAF & Kingsize.

I just got it from Amazon today; I thought it was worth £3.57 and it got me free postage on some Ulrich Schnauss...

It's nicely done - it flows really well, it's not butchered by being obviously remastered to slam everything up to digital zero so it stil jiggers you around a bit as it should. The tracklisting's a bit odd, aye, but at least it's not a really obvious chronological singles job that any monkey could have put together.

Brief-ish sleevenotes by Michael Heatley, who I looked-up and has written loads of music biogs and football books about Fulham and stuff. I looked him up cos he actually quoted me in there - '[Lazarus] in one critics's words, combined "a big pop tune halfway between Dinosaur Jr and the Beach boys [with] a great big dub instrumental"' is lifted from a review I did of Find The Way Out @ Stylus.

His notes actually mention Kingsize ('dance-oriented', wtf?! is a tiny bit of drum'n'bass and some synth enough to mean 'dance oriented'??!!) so it's a shame it wasn't represented...

So, yeah... oddness. But nice. If 10p filters back to you somehow, Martin, then that's lovely, and if not, it's only cost me about £2.50 in real terms and has saved me burning my own CDR comp together...
