i may have seen this at my record store??? it rings a strong bell, but i'm not sure where

It does exist. I've seen it in two or three different Tower Records stores. I remember the tracklist including Second Nature and Disappointed, but I can't remember if it contains Twisted Tenderness songs or not. But yeah, it's out there.

I've heard of this but never seen it. But as memory serves it was a compilation of the first 3 albums and singles put onto a double CD (as yer man says above)

i remember reading something about it. i guess it's a japanese/asian only release. :confused:

Yes, this is japanese only, but I'd be curious to see if the tracklisting was the same as expected.

And it's unavailable everywhere on japanese shops, so it might be indeed "rare" :D

I think the side projects should end. The Smiths reunite. And all the NO people get back to making good music as NO only.

Well, ok, but if they do it.. and if they don't want 8 years to do a record..

It was fun having new order related release twice a year... and although it's not New Order.. Electronic & Monaco were pretty decent.. The Other Two were ok, but not much more..
