Can I hear a 'Hallelujah' for brother Nick? I just bought the magic box today (had my head up my ass last week or I would have got it on Tuesday, and I am loving this glorious walk down memory lane. Not a great many surprises, but some might fine choices on here, and a great many beloved b-sides that I'm enjoying meeting up with again. As pointed out in the Pitchfork review, it's just cool to have all these in one place finally. Anyone else feeling the love? (Also am curious if anyone senses any glaring omissions.)

Yeah, I'm looking to pick that up this weekend. Good time for reissues/comps this upcoming month -- there's this, the rest of the CBS/Sony years for Adam Ant, Them Cure Reissues...

I may pick that up.. I looked at the tracklist and I think I actually have most of this stuff on tape somewhere, though, thanks to raiding my college radio station's archives and copying every soundtrack piece and B-side I could find..

I do indeed feel the love. And while it's full of great songs, worth every penny, etc., I'm still kind of pissed about the absence of "There Is a Light."

Saw it at NYCD late last week. Started drooling, but couldn't bring myself to b buy it. I have so many things I've yet to thoroughly "digest" before I can run out and buy something new (let alone a three-disc set).

Buy it buy it buy it. Digest later. Indulge now!! mwahaha.

EXACTLY. It's not so much purchasing it because it's stuff you don't have, it's purchasing it because to listen to most of these entails diving under your bed & rifling through 47 cassette tapes, vinyl, burned cd-r's and whathaveyou...all the glory, sans dustbunnies!

I bought it for my girlfriend only minutes ago. I'm looking forward to hearing some of it.
