Collection that can be counted as a kind of follow-up to the 1977 Polydor "Greatest Hits" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/09/roxy-music-greatest-hits-2302-073-77-uk.html . That turned out to be a killer due to its imporoved audio and inclusion of the former non-LP singles "Virginia Plain" and "Pyjamarama" plus a special version of "The Thrill Of It All". Unfortunately no such oddities on this one. You get ten LP tracks with crystal clear audio and that's it. It is a good collection of songs for those who don't care to get the original albums, but I can't help thinking - just ten lousy cuts from such a blooming song book...it's way too chary. And since eight of the songs were picked from "Manifesto" and "Flesh And Blood", why didn't they add the excellent title tracks from those albums? That would have made it a lot better for me. But it is what it is and even like this it's probably something a true fan can't miss. Issued and reissued on vinyl, CD and cassette all over the world through the years. UK LP on EG (EGLP 54). It seems all came with the same songs, except the US 1987 CD which for some reason only had nine tracks, omitting "Do The Strand". First German had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover with dark blue inner. (GÖXÄ*) (ÄNÖ*)
