All other artists that have a large singles catalog, take note! This is how to do it right!

These 2 box sets (27 singles in total) are brilliant. They feature replicas of all of the original 12" vinyl covers and have all of the 12" versions, B-sides and remixes as featured on the original singles.

On both of the box sets, almost half of the stuff on there had never been issued on cd before! It's been a good year to be a Duranie!

I never dreamed that I'd ever own official copies on cd of most of this stuff and I am so happy!!!!

If only Prince would do something like this!!!!!

I finally got these last night!!! They are BEAUTIFUL!!! It's so cute to see mini-versions of my 12" vinyl singles, and it's AWESOME to have these tracks in cd quality.

I felt like a kid at Christmas when I opened them up. I couldn't stop looking at them all. The View to a Kill single is a gatefold sleeve! I never bought Decade, so this is the first time I've had A View to a Kill on cd! And I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

JonSnow said:

I think I remember you saying you made your own compilation using these singles. I'm curious what your tracklisting is. A while back I made a bside compilation using the vinyl I have. My uncle has a set up where he can record anything to cd. This is going to make it so much easier!

VinaBlue said:

Hmm i made my own a few years ago from all my vinyl.... Which I play alot actually... This would have been much easier indeed, but now i got the one with all the scratches...and...My version contains also some Arcadia b-sides!!

VinaBlue said:

This is what i did from the singles boxes. It has all the singles (except burning the ground), plus a handful of the better b-sides. If ALL the DD cds were remastered, i would make a very different compilation... including the Arcadia singles.

Speaking of Arcadia - does anyone have the single edit of The Promise? I doubt we'll see a So Red the Rose remaster project w/ bonus tracks anytime soon.

I'll check my vinyl, but I don't have a turn table. Maybe I can tape it at a friends house, then make an mp3 from the tape at home... I can't remember right now if I have that edit though.


About the box set: I wonder why they didn't include the Girls on Film remixes that came out in 99?

VinaBlue said:

I do have the single edit!!! I can only record it on Minidisc for ya if you like?

Lennon said:

I don't have a minidisc player, unfortunately....

something i just noticed about the box set. Why does the Come Undone single leave off the american b-sides, to the shore and fallen angel?

It only goes up to 1995. They are also missing the Electric Barbarella and Out Of My Mind singles.

In response to someone else's post, Burning The Ground is included in the box! I fucking freaked out over that... it's the first time that song has ever been on an official cd.

In response to another person's post about Come Undone, yeah... bummer.... To the Shore is now on the Remastered first album. And the box is also missing "stop dead" "Time for Temptation" and the US Remix of "Come Undone" But none of those are all that exciting....

JonSnow said:

Hmmmm, that is interesting... I noticed a sticker on the back of the box set that said "Made In Holland". Maybe that's why? I haven't had a chance to compare each cd with my vinyl, and I was thinking maybe I didn't have some of these remixes because they were imports.

Oh yeah!

I never saw it on cd single. I googled and found that it was only released in the UK and Germany. http://dditaly.interfree....ss,2,1.htm

VinaBlue said:

NO WAY! I didn't know that ever came out!

My face is red, I stand corrected.
