"Sound quality is excellent, there are some 12" versions that were impossible to find on CD until now (like Midge Ure's "If I Was"), and I even discovered some new wave gems I'd never heard before. But a few problems exist. Most of the discs run only 1 hour. Could've squeezed a couple more singles on...or actually put the 12" versions of a few that actually are not the 12" versions. Some I noticed included "I Just Died in Your Arms" which is the single, not the 12", and Showing Out by Mel & Kim. Plus, Safety Dance fades out early instead of ending cold! Why would they EDIT the 12" version??? Also noticed that Temptation by Heaven 17 is not an original 12", but a remix that was done in the 90s that I have on another CD also. Then there are a few tracks that never had 12" versions, so these are just the album versions claiming to be a 12" version, such as "Eyes Without A Face."
