my only problem with the 3 cd version is.... did we really need the Patience album in its entirety spread out over 3 discs? lol

if you're going to have a 3 disc retrospective and don't actually have that much material to cover, then put on every single rare thing that's out there. Love's In Need Of Love Today? Fantasy? Happyman Dance? Hell... I WANT YOUR SEX PT 1 FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!


but, yeah, otherwise, it's awesome (though the new tracks kind of suck. hard.)

and think about how you're treating me now.
Then try to reconcile them, if you can.
But you don't even remember, do you?"

oh yeah, i forgot Fantasy is on there. but the others.... come on. we don't need the entire Patience album again. we need the rare stuff. all the b-sides and rarities and outtakes on a single disc, a-la Prince's The Hits/B-Sides would have made this collection definitive.

smile there is a lot on here i had no idea about, understand, precious box, american angel, round here, safe...amazing though.

i think he will come out with something like that soon, i hope anyway. speaking of prince he needs to make a new record or to give us samples of what tunes he has in the vault.

Hopefully Sony/BMG releases a COMPLETE retrospective in a couple of years because I didn't buy the USA version of Twenty Five. It seems incomplete

It does but I'm thankful though. Maybe the comprehensive retrospective will feature all of his greatest moments from both his WHAM! and solo days...and include all three parts of IWYS together! lol
