Annotation

This Compilation
℗ 1996 BMG Entertainment/Made in Japan/Stereo.

Manufactured by BMG Victor, Inc., Tokyo, Japan, a unit of BMG Entertainment, from Master Recordings owned or controlled by BMG UK.

Japanese Double CD compilation of all the singles and remixes issued by Hansa in the UK, 7" and 12" from 1978 through to 1983. Some tracks have been mastered from vinyl. The same versions of some songs are repeated though, because the compiler has included all the A and B sides in chronological order. This is well presented with a 40 page booklet including lyrics and illustrations of the picture sleeves.

Initial copies were housed in a 'wide' double jewel case and later copies in a slimline double jewel case.
