Two Questions Answered Christopher Schroen | Alexandria, VA | 03/12/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "You've got two questions about this three-disc set, and I'm going to answer them.
Q1. Is this the one best-of-Bowie compilation to own?
A1. Yes. This International Edition has the nine extra tracks which the US version lacks. It contains, therefore, everything you want, and even plenty of stuff you might not want (almost everything after "Blue Jean" is dispensable, I think, but that's just my opinion). I do wish the song "DJ" were on this compilation, but you can live without it.
Q2. What about Disc 3, the dance remixes? Is it worth the extra cost?
A2. If you like electronic dance music, sure. There's nothing earth-shattering on Disc 3, but it's OK. This 3-disc set is worth it for the nine extra tracks you don't get on the US version. The dance remixes are lagniappe.
Conclusion: Yes, this is the one best-of-Bowie compilation to own."
