I bought this because I'm one of those early 40's kind of guy who likes his pop synthesised and aged by a good twenty years or so.
While it's great to have digital remasters of all these classic tracks I'm surprised at the cost of this. Who are Mute trying to reach? Diehards like me will buy this anyway, but the curious will pass because of the cost.
Hopefully, Mute will realise this and bring the cost down. MAybe then new listeners can discover what some of us have known for years; Yazoo are pretty bloody good.

It would be easy to underestimate the influence of Yazoo: only two albums and a handful of singles before they went their separate ways. Like all great bands, Yazoo was a combination of individually brilliant musicians. The juxtaposition of Moyet's powerhouse bluesy voice with Clarke's minimal yet funky electronics was a kind of proto-house music but a good three years before Detroit and Chicago took to the dancefloor.
However, it's simply great songwriting that underpins the Yazoo sound - 'Only You' being the best example - an instant classic when in was released in 1982. Personally, I love the soaring, exuberant pop of tracks such as 'Don't Go' and 'Situation' as well as the brooding melancholy of 'Midnight' or 'Ode To Boy'. If, like me, you're a fan of electronic and dance music, listen to Yazoo and you'll appreciate their influence on plethora of artists and producers who followed - right up to the present day. This is a sound investment for any self-respecting music fan. Even if you've got the original vinyl releases.

Fall in love with Yazoo all over again with this wonderful package.
The DVD mixes of the albums bring a whole new life to the songs, and lift the keyboards and synths to another level not previously heard.
Lovely booklet with rare photo's, lyrics etc.
DVD Interview is a great telling of the Yazoo story.

Vince and Alf-what the early 80's were all about
This box set can not go wrong. It includes everything recorded and released by Yazoo in their all too brief 18 month carrer from spring 1982 to the summer of 1983. Read more

5.1 mixes are a big surprise
Having been a Yazoo collector for years, this box set sadly doesn't feature any tracks or remixes that I don't already own on cd. Read more
