Best Tracks left off the Reissues

I apologize for this post if its already been discussed. I just thought it would be a neat list to compile:

The "real" True Faith Dub Bizarre Dub Triangle Kiss of Death

are a couple that come to mind.

Movement: unless you really want more of the 7" edits, this bonus disc has the goods. The completists could argue for the Christmas Flexi tracks but, unless they were unlisted and hidden, I'd be embarrassed by their inclusion.

Power, Corruption & Lies: conversely, I would liked to have seen 7" edits of Blue Monday and Confusion here as they're harder to come by.

Low-Life: Kiss of Death is M.I.A. State of the Nation should be on this disc. I would have liked the Record Mirror mix of Sub-Culture on here. Shellshock should be the full 12". Shellcock should be here. The soundtrack/original version of Touched by the Hand of God is missing.

Brotherhood: Shame of the Nation should be on this disc. Bizarre Dub Triangle is absent. Paradise 12" should be here. Temptation [1987], Confusion [1987] and Confusion Dub 1987 should be here as we're unlikely to see a remaster of Substance. True Dub should be here. Touched by the Hand of Dub should be here. Beach Buggy should have been chosen instead of the '88 Dub.

Technique: completists (them again!) might want the Fine Time 12" but the Recycle Blog has given it, and most of the other omissions listed, a home. The Twelve Inch Mix (Ben Grosse) of Round & Round should be here, but I would want it in addition to, not instead of, the Twelve Inch (Stephen Hague) mix included. Run 2 [7"] should be here, as well as on all those other releases where it was actually listed. MTO should be the original mix. Those competists can keep the Minus Mix.

That was a great run-down! Thnaks for the insight - a couple of those tracks i forgot about. I couldn't agree more about the Christmas Flexi beng left off Movement (Disc 2). Its more of a novelty really (no pun intended there). it would have been out of place. Movement (Disc 2)has to be the best bonus disc by far in my opinion, second maybe would be Brotherhood's bonus disc(eventhough I think that's the weakest actual album of the bunch)

I haven't bought the reissues yet, so I may be wrong but... the original version (12" mix, not Shep P.'s remix) of True Faith is missing, isn't it?

Yes, the Substance version is missing.

State Of The Nation was on the original Factory CD of 'Brotherhood', so it's already in the right place. Shame Of The Nation was produced by John Robie - who also produced Shellshock and remixed Subculture, so I can kind of see how that fits on the Low-life bonus disc.

Yes, the Substance version is missing.

The original 1987 7" mix would have been a good inclusion too, as it's extremely hard to track down on CD (they used the 1987 12" mix on 'Singles' for some odd reason - considering it was meant to be 7" mixes on that compilation!).

In my opinion, it doesn't belong on Brotherhood. It was recorded in May of 1985 and would probably have been released as a single that year if they'd continued releasing only non-LP singles.

I've heard people argue that Brotherhood is weak and State's inclusion brought more value to it but I disagree on both counts.

My local shop has some used copies. How can you tell if they're the corrected versions if they've already been opened?

Good call on The Happy One. I neglected to mention that needing a proper release.
