Tracklisting:
Jetstream (Richard X Remix) Krafty (DJ Dan Vocal) Crystal (John Creamer & Stephane K Main Remix) Spooky (Out of Order Mix) World (The Perfecto Mix) Ruined In A Day (Reunited In A Day Remix) Regret (New Order Mix) World In Motion (Carabinieri Mix) Round & Round (12" Version) Fine Time (Silk Mix) Blue Monday (88 12" Mix) True Faith (The Morning Sun Extended Remix) Bizarre Love Triangle (Shep's Extended Dance Mix) State of the Nation The Perfect Kiss (Long Version from the Perfect Kiss Video) Here To Stay (Felix Da Housecat Mix: Extended Glitz Mix)
Most are commonly available on CD singles or promos.
iTunes encoding quality is generally shite but if you're willing to part with the cash you'll get a reasonable haul of remixes without having to hunt down each CD single. The World In Motion (Carabinieri Mix) is relatively rare in digital format these days.
If you've already got the likes of (the rest of), Retro Disc 3 and a couple of CD singles then I wouldn't bother with this.

The only one I bought was The Perfect Kiss (Live Video Version) - can't remember if it's the same that's on Retro CD 5 or not? 
Is the 12" version of BM 888 any different from the 7". I have the 7" from singles and heard the sample of the 12er and thought it sounded remarkably different. I might dl some of the tracks I don't have from retro/rest of.

Dunno but the timings don't match.
The iTunes version is 5:14 but the Retro5 version is 9:56.
Probably not then! :D

Ah yes, that's right - it must be the one that was on that US 12" promo - I knew there was a reason I downloaded it!

Well it's just an extended version of the 7" really, a few more pointless speech samples looped throughout it.
IMO, the whole BM-88 release was utter shite, they took the original 1983 12" and basically violated it with silly ice crunching and laughter samples. Not one of Quincy Jones' finest hours (although I think he just oversaw rather than actually remixed).
