Hopefully Rhino will fuck this up as badly as they fucked up the New Order reissues and I won’t have to buy this either. BAH!

Beyond no Thick Pigeon (’Subway’ would be a perfect disc closer), where the hell is Antena? What Swamp Children track can top ‘Achilles’? I mean, sure, it’s on Crépuscule, but doesn’t Factory Benelux count for something? No respect for the Belgians…

you obviously can’t make a factory records comp without joy division. but doesn’t everyone who would want to buy this already own JD’s complete discography, including rarities, possibly several times over? i balk at re-buying a bunch of joy division songs.

Only ONE song from the Mondays’ “Yes, Please”?!?!?. This is insufficient tribute to Shaun Ryder’s legendary Barbadian crack jag, the binge that killed the great label.

I'd click yes if only for a good remastering job, as even the post-Palatine discs I never stopped spinning (Too Young To Know, To Wild To Care & Different Colours, Different Shades on London in the mid-90's) sourced their material from vinyl, specifically for that tasty Crawling Chaos track, and even the Quando Quango if I'm not mistaken. I should just be thankful that a legit version of Marcel King's "Reach Out For Love" will be available again for all my nieces and nephews to buy for a few bucks, eventually, right? Shaun probably owns the rights to it by now, anyway.

Actually, if this includes one photo of Mark Robinson's bedroom ca. 1989, I will buy it immediately.

also, only one Stockholm Monsters track? travesty.

i already own New Order/Joy Division's discography like, three times over, so this set is pretty meh.

Other than a nice Seville cover, what does this offer that the Palatine box set didn’t?
