UK and German compilation of single only cuts plus some filler from Hansa. This album was a big seller and spent nearly a year in the British charts (46 weeks). Every track is a classic. A "new" version of "All Tomorrows Parties" appears here, which may be the original Simon Napier-Bell production. More recently, this album has been coupled with "Quiet Life" as a "Back 2 Back" budget double.

UK chart position: 26.

Japanese LP/UK Special Edition Cassette (January 1983)

Side A of cassette as above:

Side B of cassette/Japanese LP includes -

1. Life In Tokyo (remix 6.19)
2. European Son (extended remix)
3. I Second That Emotion (extended remix)
4. Quiet Life
5. Fall In Love With Me
6. In Vogue (live)
7. Deviation (live)
8. Obscure Alternatives (live)

This album is far more interesting than the UK version because it includes most of the Hansa 12" single mixes, plus a previously unavailable remix of "Life In Tokyo". Not to be confused with the current Japanese double CD which contains the UK album plus a different selection of remixes and live tracks! The picture insert contains photos from throughout Japan's history, including some rare live shots from 1978. The LP version reached No45 in the Japanese charts.

Remastered edition 2004 (re-issued 2006)

There are 3 versions of this release to collect - all are different. The original UK and Japanese CD's had a couple of errors; the opening bass note of "Adolescent Sex" is missing, and the version of "Life In Tokyo" included is the 12" version, not the remix from the UK cassette (called '82 remix). The Japanese edition also included an obi strip and an extra lyric booklet. In 2006 the UK CD was re-released with the tracks fixed and in a jewel case rather than a digipack.
