Even from track one 'Waterfront', I was firing up.
Worth every penny just from CD one of three. Have not listened to CD two or three yet.Just got to the last track of CD one, called Belfast Child. What a vibe!

Why all the edits.........
Very disappointed with this Universal release - these shabby thrown together sets are becoming a regular feature from them. The majority of the tracks are pointless edits - 24 in total - I Travel is totally destroyed by someone who didn't just edit this track but horrendously hacked it to death.The tracks are not sequenced in chronological order - I do have my own shuffle button if required. There are no release dates or source / production details.The booklet has no fine details - just the awful edited tracks although there are a brief series of different period photos of the band.Maybe I'm being too hard on this expensive 3XCD set and perhaps it's aimed at new or casual fans but new or casual fans deserve respect as much as long time die hard fans do. However it was a far way from what I was expecting. This set will most likely sit on my shelf redundant whilst I play the Themes box sets.Oh by the way - the 2 stars** are for the new single - For One Night Only. It reminded me of the Sparkle era.
