    They'll find a way. Lots of vinyl rips or tracks that skip, probably.:D

    No kidding.
    Wonder if they'll just use the Detox remasters.

    Not too compelling a package, though depending on the versions used I may pick this up. For example, I'm not sure I have on cd the acoustic version of "Will You Still Be There" that appeared on the b-side of the single. For that matter, most of Howard's b sides are missing on cd except as part of the 2-cd "Very Best Of" set that was mastered horribly. Then again, given that this set is being issued by Cherry Red I doubt the mastering here will be good, either.

    Wow, that's a lot of Howard Jones. I like him but a 3 CD set of Howard Jones would be like a 3 CD set of ABC.

    And I presume the version of No One is to Blame is the remix with Phil Collins....he should have also included the stripped down album version (superior IMHO).

    Funny, especially when his old discs can be had for pretty cheap

    How do you like his 1993 Best of CD, Cory?

    Haven't picked it up yet George. Probably sounds fine. There's only one track I'm interested in, so I haven't been in a rush to grab it.

    Ken.e. Spinning music since...

    Haven't bought a Cherry Red disc yet. Are the typically poor quality?

    I like Howard's music, would rather have deluxe editions of them though with b-sides and remixes.
