First of all, the bad points. 'Night Train' is not the contoversial single remix but the badly edited album version that still contains the end of 'Move Up'. 'The Anvil' has a brief burst of sound distortion on it. 'In The Year 2525' fades out into the opening bars of 'The Anvil' from the dance version of the Best Of LP. And for the final time, 'The Steps' IS 'Second Steps' from the B-side of the 'Visage' single (I just played it to double-check!).
The plus points are the inclusion of the otherwise unavailable (on CD) 'Pleasure Boys (Dance Mix)', 'She's A Machine' and the afore-mentioned 'Second Steps'. With proper mastering and a correct track listing, this release would have scored 5 stars. As it is, it's unfortunately just another sloppy release. Errors like these are unforgivable. Visage and Steve Strange deserve the respect their timeless music deserves. Maybe one-day the original 3 albums will be re-released, remastered and with the appropiate bonus tracks. We wait and hope.

I just bought this cd recently, after enjoying the Blitz-time at Inflation in Melbourne. I missed this music in my collection, even after 20+ years. Isn't that incredible ? The music is catchy, dancable, at times brilliant, nostalgic, stylish and of sheer beauty. It's thatrical, aswell as glossy and it's like parading at The Ramblas at Barcelona or anywhere else. It's still fashionable, although you won't find a hairdresser or fashionist in my near surroundings.
I sincerely do hope, this music will have a rebound, as music has become to flat these days. Overproduced without any real spheric presence. Visage has all that. Look al the musicians...Magazine, Ultravox, Rusty Egan and Steve Strange. I've read that Strange is going to rule again in ol'new ways, and I wish him all the best. Hopefully he will be able to strike me again ...for another 25 years. But this music ? Will always be part of me. Not only for pasts'sake, although I can't deny it was a great time. And you can hear just that, for sure.

I was comparing this album with the best of Visage and basically bought it because it has 4 more tracks on it. Interesting sounds from what I can remember of Visage in the early 80's but I was sorry I did'nt buy the best of Ultravox, next on my list. Anyhow a good intro to the world of New Romantics and their music but takes a bit of getting used too.

Beautiful and thought-provoking
Having a huge interest in art and the neo-romantacism movement during the 1980s, I had to buy this album. I would rate it on par with a good Ultravox album such as Lament. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars
The usual singles...plus a couple of rarities on CD
So much better compiled than the Master Series (which featured a non-Visage track by mistake) despite the fact that on some pressings "Steps" is "Second Steps" in reality. Read more

Try the other Visage releases first!
An album which gives a good general scattering of Visage's electronic dance spirit of the early 80's. Read more
