Major record companies - TAKE NOTE. You are your own worst enemy and have absolutely NO understanding of what your customers want and expect from you.
Yes you own the masters to this and have done nothing with it for decades, but this is how you actually do a reissue properly.
Great mastering, all the remixes, great liner notes.
Thank God for Edsel and The Thompson Twins. I forgot how great you guys were.

I will simply say that this is THE box to have if you happened to be a Twins fans, or simply enjoy those 80's tunes you listened when you were young. Each CD is remastered with an excellent quality while suplemented with extra songs. Besides, the 2nd disc for each set is a real gift for us fans who craved for these rare versions and remixes (in my case, living in Argentina, it was just like a treasure hunt to find those remixes back in the old days).
Listening again to all these tunes, after so many years (25 years to be precise), it's like re-discovering the band again.
This has to be the best buy I've made in years, and all for an almost ridiculous price. My last words: Buy it now, before it's too late and it becomes an out of stock product and a collector's item!

This collection is not new - the albums were available individually. It is very nice (and affordable) to have all in one box. Quick Step & Side Kick, Into The Gap and Here's To Future Days are EXCELLENT. Here are the drawbacks:
I am a huge fan of the first two albums, A Product Of and Set. Both are here, with just about all the b-sides (one live track is missing). Unfortunately, the remastering is horrendous, especially on the singles. The albums are a little better, but the original LPs sound much better. Obviously corners were cut on these two albums. Also, while understandable due to time constraints, it is a shame that the final b-side, the live version of, is missing, as those live tracks give an interesting glimpse into the original band. There are a few other live recordings of the early days that I would love to hear again, and there was a radio session from this period, too, which was released in the late 80s. Anyway, I was not able to part ways with my record collection from the first two albums.
The second major drawback is the omission of the Close To The Bone album, of which there were enough mixes to create an expanded edition, plus they could have included the Greatest Mixes album in the box, which was, albeit cheap, a pretty good collection.

Thompson Twins Box Set
This has brought back so many good memories. I had forgotten many of their songs and it has been a joy to rediscover them. And a bargain price too, with many great remixes. Read more
