Title: Disappointing - too many edits spoil the songs
Review: Firstly in response to the editorial - 'Communique' is not a dismal record by any means! It may not have fared as well as other DS albums and had no hits so to speak, but it was a good album!Its a shame that instead of releasing a 2 CD compilation, instead cramming 16 songs onto one CD meant editing so many great songs - 'Money for Nothing', 'Brothers In Arms', et al. More over, this collection has too many annoying live renditions of songs which were superior in their original studio format - 'Love Over Gold' in particular. With the new 'Private Investigations' CD out now (in single and also double CD form), check that one out, or stick to the original studio albums, this is not a showcase of DS at their best. Several tracks including the superb 'Telegraph Road' areis also missing from this collection.
Is the review positive or negative?
