A complete way to end the boxed set series...for now.

"It appears that all the remixes and singles from the early 90s have all made it relatively unscathed to this 4th boxed set-with only a few track time issues that I noticed. Here's the breakdown:
CD1
Has same number of tracks as the original Chorus CD single. However, what's called the martyn Phillips 12" remix of "Snappy" on the original domestic CD single has no remix name here-and it reads in a CD player as being 15 seconds shorter than the original release-although, I couldn't figure out if there's a part cut out or if this version is perhaps sped up.
CD2
Has all the mixes from the original import single of Love to Hate you, plus an extra mix of Vitamin C and Love to Hate You.
CD3
A flawless single, this has all the tracks from the original Am I Right import CD single, plus the much harder to find remixes from a limited edition release Am I Right single, which included a more dance oriented mix of Am I Right, as well as remixes of Chorus and Love to Hate You, plus Perfect Stranger. And finally, you get the David Bascombe remix of Am I Right from the original import vinyl 12", which is a slightly longer and slightly remixed version of the original.
CD4
This one is tricky. It has all the mixes from the original US CD single of Breath of Life, while Waiting for Sex and Carry on Clangers are both on disc 3. However, some of the names of the mixes for Breath of Life are different here. The Swiss Mix is called the Dave Bascombe mix. The Umbilical mix is simply called the Joey Beltram mix. And the Elixir mix is simply called the "remix". And finally, you get an accapella dub remix that was not on the US single at all.
CD5
Here is the COMPLETE Abba-esque EP, finally on one disc. At the time of it's release, the original Abba-esque EP had just the four original mixes. Later another EP was released that was just the remixes of each. It was much harder to find, not to mention, most fans of the songs didn't really care for any of these remixes. Like them or not, here they are. And the "No Panties" mix of "Lay All Your Love on Me" is 40 seconds longer than it was on the original release."
