    Is this the NEW versions or the originals.

    Since there are three songs from Xanadu, can we assume they are the originals?

    These will be the original versions. Nothing from Zoom but the only news here would the Xanadu tracks. Who remastered them and what condition are they in?

    Another compilation so soon after the last one ?

    I will buy it (of course) - but deja-vu once more...

    I (we !) want new material Jeff !

    At this rate I will have no money left to buy any new material !

    It would seem there is still plenty of blood in the ELO compilation stone.

    Who'd be a fan eh ?

    Pretty good selection of tracks, excellent for an ELO newbie, but this is incredibly frustrating. WHY?

    I'll skip this one. I already have enough of this stuff.

    Good news from Lynn Hoskins. Apparently there are going to be 4 'new' single edits on this collection.

    They could've put some more effort into the cover art.
