"Scooch were the ultimate pop band of the late 90s. They rocked. Every track they laid their vocals one was pure supreme pop. They were on the same label as Kylie Minogue(Parlophone) so it must be something in the water down there!
Anyway this Japanese edition includes not two but THREE bonus tracks. Yes Amazon have correctly identified the two remixes but BIRD IN FLIGHT was not included on the original European album. Welcome To Planet Pop went to no.1 in Japan for 4 months and included 5 Asian no.1 singles. They were confused with Steps but Scooch were the real contenders of the ABB-On-Speed mantle. Steps were as dull as dishwater and didnt write ANY of their material. Scooch on the other hand have written every track on this CD bar a few. They camp but great for retro disco parties. Those who like Kylie will love this CD. My highlight? Don't Look Back which isnt on the album but its their best recording and you can find it on Cd1 of their top 4 UK hit single More Than I Needed To Know!
As for this CD after listening to the great singles, go straight to One Of These Days."
