i would go amazon the minute i hear of it becoming available... then possibly a (rest of...):)
I would definitely buy it, and would hope that a DVD release would occur simultaneously (although that never happened with the recent Revenge compilation)... 
A best of will happen one day. It might not be soon,but Sumner & Marr are both too high profile for one not to appear. A disc of NEW remixes would be nice too.
The only thing better than a new CD is a tour to match, at places you wouldent tink of. Like RAF Fairford, UK or Portage, Alaska USA or even the North Eastern part of Russia!
Relations between Mr. Marr and Mr. Sumner must be good as they are both appearing at Manc Aid.
Hopefully item1 on their agenda is discussing this release...
Interesting that the release date is almost exactly a week after the MvC gig; a belting version of Some Distant Memory wouldn't go amiss as some promo, would it? Not that I'm getting carried away or anything. :)
What's 'King for a day' and 'Warning sign' on?
I have to say I hate Best Of's. What's the point if you already have the tracks on other albums? I bought the Revenge one last year because there was the Gun World Porn EP and some B-sides which I didn't have, but unless there's about 4+ new tracks, I don't see the point.
king for a day and warning sign were supposed to be on twisted tenderness, but eventually came out as b-sides on some promo songs from the album and the twisted tenderness deluxe album.
so my best of would be:
idiot country try all you want some distant memory feel every beat (remix) get the message getting away with it gangster fobidden city until the end of time (fluffy dice) second nature out of my league twisted tenderness vivid late at night flicker
yep id buy that for a dollar!
but im more interested in Shugs cool electronic
"feel every beat" dvd project
I'd love a Bernard Sumner best of like John Lydon's spiffifing CD / DVD collection - the first time Virgin Records have given him his due. We'll see...
2 new songs - NICE!
Plus - after all my cds were nicked, I have only replaced the first Electronic album, so it'd be great to have all the best tracks compiled
I'm definately rushing out to get it! I am very curious what these 2 tracks will sound like.
Hi, I was over the moon when I first heard about the release of a Best Of Electronic cd,I noticed it in the pre order section on hmv.co.uk.I guess like many others I have been waiting for a Best Of cd to be released for years. I would love to see a limited edition with a bonus dvd featuring all of the promo videos.I would also like to see previously unreleased material on the cd.Did Neil only record 3 songs with Electronic or are there some unreleased songs in the vaults?I would also like to have a few remixes/mixes on there.,maybe unreleased mixes if there are any. I hope that there will be a good advertising campaign for this release.
Darren.
Hold your horses!
I think this project is gonna be like 'Retro', i.e. it will come out but God knows when, all we know is by the time it does come out it'll've changed from anything we're imagining here. So why waste time thinking about it until we've got definite news? Remember the 'Recycled' box set idea? oF all the singles? Some of us even bought T-shirts of the artwork didn't we? And what happened...

Alternate videos Cities In The Park 1991 remastered...
I wouldn't hold your breath for any sort of release like this though
Jeezzzzuusss I had completely forgotten about my VCR copy of the Cities in the Park concert. Thank you very much. I am off to search the warddrobes for that gem!
I would definitely purchase a copy of any future Electronic material. Definitely unfinished business out there.
One disc, though... 
So, February is going to prove to be quite an expensive month.... Aaaarrgghhhh :)
The HMV website ain't a reliable source. And this time there's no info, no track listing, no bugger all, even though it's meant to be out in a few weeks!.. On a THURSDAY? Let's take this with a proverbial pinch of salt.

You have a point :( HMV are far from reliable but I do think we'll see an Electronic 'best of' of some description. It just depends on how much work Barney, Johnny and the label have put into it. We could end up with a boring retread of everything we already have or something along the lines of Hooky's One True Passion v2.0 project with all the best bits remastered and some brand new material.
If a single disc is all they're bothering with I hope it includes these 2 "new" tracks and utilises every second of the 80 minutes available. They have 3 albums and a fair few singles/promos to draw on!
Has anyone heard anything more about this, other than the HMV page (and other sites mentioning the release date)?
Seems a bit strange that no other information has been posted anywhere else, and it's certainly not on the EMI home page...
