great collection of my favorite band!

[@tturner12341]

Does anyone know what it sounds like and how is the pressings of the albums? I can’t play mine at the moment. But, of course I want to know what everyone thinks of the sound quality and, well how flat the records are. 😊❤❤

Thanks so much 👍🏻

I have a lot of 12” vinyl singles too. But, I don’t have a lot of their 1990’s to 2020’s vinyl singles either.

[@robertmitchell6015]

You inspired me to order the Vinyl box set thank you

[@agksvinyllife]

Hope you enjoy it!

I couldn’t get the Blu Ray CD boxset 😢😢. But, I did get the cassette boxset. Because I still have a Cassette Deck. I have played Cassette 1 already. Sounds good. Make sure you turn off NR because it doesn’t have Dolby NR.

[@agksvinyllife]

Really I would have thought the cd/Bluray box was easy to get

[@tturner12341]

As long as it has Being Boring single version on it. I’m happy 😃. Because this is my PSB song. I do have a vinyl 12” remix version of Being Boring but, I don’t care for it.

Ive been a fan since 1985 i am not impressed no new tracks, why havent they included Give stupidity a chance? I bought the 3 cd box, because i dont have a blue ray player, and they have not included a booklet in the 3 cd version, and the 2023 remaster isnt very good either i am very disappointed!!!

[@agksvinyllife]

First, why would there be new tracks? It’s clearly stated this is a 35th anniversary singles collection 1985-2020. Second, Give Stupidity a chance was never an official single it was part of a 4 song EP therefore would not be included in a Singles collection. Third, if you had done your research before buying you would know that the booklet came only in the 6lp box and CD/Bluray Boxset. You bought the budget cd only digipak. Hard to believe you don’t have a Bluray player considering ps3, ps4, ps5, x-boxes and most modern computers and laptops that have a disc drive play Blu-ray’s even if you don’t have a stand alone Bluray player. You get what you pay for and chose the budget version. Your last comment really doesn’t hold weight as I have to wonder what sort of sound system your playing the discs on. Everyone else loved the remaster and the Vinyl (The Preferred Format) sounds incredible. I thing your sour grapes in your first 2 comments jaded your view. Some ppl you just can’t please, Take Care 👍🏻

For the first PSB have always put new tracks on their compilations Discography-the first one had Dj culture and Was it worth it whish became singles, the second Popart had Mirachles and Flamboyant whish became singles, the third Ultimate had Together whish became a singel.For the second modern computers dont have a disc drive. It doesnt often snow at christmas is from a EP called Christmas, not a singel, before that only released through their fanclub ,so why could the main track Give stupidity a chance from the EP Agenda not be included because its a very ultra rare track for not hardcore fans, And dont look down on people and say you buy the budget format, shouldnt PSB give their fans a proper release in all formats, i know cd sales are not big anymore but my dear the blue ray sales are also very low these days.Ive heard other people not impressed by the 2023 remaster, but i think the problem with you is that PSB cant do anything wrong, why couldnt there have been included some of the 12 inch versions also and best b- sides , PSB have always been looking forward i have followed them since 1985, accept others opinion .

First It was CLEARLY STATED months ago this singles collection would be 1985-2020 and track listing was released at that time. Therefore once again why would there be new tracks? If there was to be new tracks they would have called it 1985-2023! It doesn’t often snow at Christmas was released as a single years ago in the 1990’s long before they remixed it for the Christmas Ep. I have the original single. I repeat if you had done your research read interviews etc that were released over the last few months you would have known exactly what was going to be on this release. This release was “Single Edits from 1985-2020” not B-sides, eps, 12” mixes etc…. If you want all that content by the “Further listening” series of their albums which I own all of which contain that content. This was the first album since discography to package up all their single edits of songs. PopArt & Ultimate did not contain single only edits they included Lp edits, full versions etc… Fans were given an option Bargain 3CD set for those on a tight budget, Deluxe CD Box set including book and Blu-ray’s and Lp Box Set. Lastly CD’s will never compare to vinyl in sound quality, hence why vinyl is the number 1 selling format of hard copy music in 2023. The lps of these mixes sound fantastic. I’ve followed PSB since 1984 since they dropped the ORIGINAL VERSION of West End Girls produced by Bobby Orlando which I own. I pretty much have most PSB content ever released. I’m personally thrilled with this release and have nothing to complain about. I guess some ppl just can never be pleased. I’m sorry for you that you don’t appreciate this release from them , your loss, take care 👍🏻

@@agksvinyllife your opinion, my opinion is i expected more from such a big group like PSB, ive been a fan just as long as you, but your the kind of person who only mean what you say is the right thing, accept for god sake other peoples meaning, i repeat PSB cant do anything wrong in your world, work on that.

[@tturner12341]

@@agksvinyllifeI did order a strange boxset of Actually that came with a EP of Lost. Which is their latest release. But, it’s on CD 💿. I have listened to the songs of Spotify. But, I haven’t opened the Actually CD boxset yet.

[@isaiasrobertoalves5409]

Send one to me! Please...

[@koukimonzta]

I prefer the LP but Im scared that the industry phases out turntables😂

[@agksvinyllife]

Turntables aren’t going away ever. Vinyl is the number 1 selling hard copy media!

[@tturner12341]

I still have the Record Player I bought as a teenager. A Marantz 6300 direct drive and it has given me many years of enjoyment.
