"Beware! This "Original Recording Remastered" is grossly untrue to the original recordings. I have "Singles 45's and Under" on LP and wanted these recordings on CD. Unfortunately, I did not see any warnings in any reviews, from either critics or consumers, advising of the destruction of the dynamic range of these recordings. I'll have to leave this double CD in the car stereo since I can't stand to listen to it on a half-way decent home stereo system. There are so many compilations of Squeeze material available, I will have to look elsewhere for a satisfactorily sounding one which includes post-1983 Squeeze music. I suggest you do the same."
