This was something I picked up cheap and I knew it was going to be pretty average. You have disc one, which is remixes, and then disc two is a mish-mash of live tracks, different versions and demos. The remixes are the usual you would expect to hear from a compilation like this. Nothing stands out but at least there wasn't any I truly hated. The 2nd disc has some neat material as well and I bought this mainly because I haven't heard any live material from Leæther Strip before. I was surprised at how much I liked the live tracks. They all sounded awesome and run as one long take too. What I found really interesting was the 1982 demo of Dreaming. It sounds so new wave and doesn't even sound like it came from Leæther Strip.
In short this is a good buy for the major fan but I wouldn't go spending a lot of mulla on it. I wouldn't mind getting a whole live recording of his early 90's material. Very well done! Oh, and it's limited to 3333 in case you care.
