Where will The Best of Electronic chart?

Apart from a fairly brutal edit of "Imitation Of Life", the only real reason for buying this is for the videos, and they even left some of the promos off it...

A wasted opportunity...

Not much imagination has gone in to this has it? However I have been listening to it though and it's not too bad. I would have binned All That I Need for a starter and put on Free Will, Reality & Tighten Up maybe. I'm glad TT made it which should have been a single IMO.

The DVD is a bit of a let down. Why they chose the version of GAWI and not the other version is beyond me and as someone mentioned £18 which I paid for in HMV is way over the top.

The plus side of things is that I've re-discovered their music again. Until Blackpool that is. :)

I'd forgotten how good Forbidden City is and Get The Message. Two absolute belters.

I agree with your comments Nick/PHD one or a few new tracks and some remixes and/or some better promotion from EMI, HMV etc. may have made the compilation sell better. Just regarding downloads etc. is Best Of available on iTunes as if not it would explain its lowly position. Cheers!

Wonder how many copies it took to hit 196? Probably about 196...

The version of Imitation of Life is one good reason for buying it, as it cuts out the unnecessary last three hours of bleeps.

Like I said in another post, I'm excited about this release because I only ever had the eponymous album on cassette (and it is VERY worn at this point!). Like another said, Electronic really filled the vast void we had in the 90s between New Order releases.

Yep. I got it at Newbury Comics in RI. That store spoils me. I take it for granted that they'll have stuff I want, then I'm amazed when people say they have to order things.

That Imitation Of Life 'edit' is something my 1 year old could have done with Cool Edit '96.

I got it for the dvd period.

Indeed a wasted opportunity, even in terms of the dvd alone as so much more could have been thrown into it.
