What's the packaging format ?
Similar to the 10-CD set or jewel-case ?

Yes, they are. Sounds like a decent addition to the collection, as I don't
already have the single edits and exceprts etc.

This actually a quite nicely put together compilation. It's nice having the single versions of several classic TD tracks and the radio adverts are quite amusing though I can't imagine them getting too much playing.

...as always there's the usual array of spelling mistakes and inaccuracies but that kinda makes it an official release.

Goes for both KS and TD releases, and it has always annoyed me. Can't believe why they not bother to get things righ by make sure the translations are good, instead of the poor English in many a booklet.

Yea, and I am not talking about my English, which is not perfect at all. But if I was in a famous band, and to release a CD, I would make sure to get a good translator to do the work, and not a fellow countryman with as poor English as my self.

A fabulous sounding compilation, nicely packaged in the old 'Virgin' label - are we to see others released in this way ?

I understand. I just found it slightly humorous that you had a mistake yourself in that sentence.

I'd buy this just for the cover. It might also be kind of convenient having 5 classic albums on 3 CDs.

Well, nothing arrived in the post after 2 weeks so i contacted the seller. He said it had been sent but he would send another. 1 week later still nothing, so contacted him again and was told he was "waiting for more stock" and that I could have a refund if I wanted. I said I would wait for the new batch to arrive because I was happy with his price. I kind of suspect he may have put the wrong price on and will try NOT to send me the set. However, I look forward to being wrong about this......
