Tight, crisp, punchy sound on this second of two and it contains arguably some of Bowie's worst songs... cringe inducing horror!

I don't normally go for anthologies, particularly 'best ofs' and 'hits' - they can be disjointed to listen to.This collection of songs isn't weakened in that way. The selection hangs together well, spanning a breadth of songs within the titular period. And great to have Wild Is the WInd in any collection.

I prefer this promo edition. The minimal cover leaves the music to stand on its own. I'm not sure what it is I don't like about the cover of the general release. The thin white duke portrait is obviously iconic, but there the cover design ends and the type and white space is a bit lazy. I know that sounds lame, but that's my gut feeling. Great purchase.
