What a disappointment.
Won't be buying this unless there's a limited edition of new remixes!

It’s 3CDs and 2DVDs of videos.

Or a 6 vinyl box set audio only.

That is the cover.

What is the point of 2nd DVD with the choice of only 6 odd videos and the lack of proper videos
Thursday
Twenty-Something
Monkey Business

And decent lyric videos
The Pop Kids
Dreamland
I Don't Wanna
4 videos from Agenda

From the audio tracklisting it looks like Very is the winner and Release and Yes the losers.

In terms of videos, it would be odd if they include the lyric video of Memory of the future, which is pretty unremarkable as far as their lyric videos go, and leave out Monkey business, which is one of their best videos.

Again How can you expect to be taken seriously? no where to be seen...

London, Beautiful People, All Over The World, Undertow, all axed?

I would rather have bonus disks with these tracks rather than DVDs.

The last 5 videos on that first DVD will be a "downgrade" in quality compared with their Youtube counterparts, as they were released in native HD there, and the DVD quality is just standard definition. The rest on the "new" ommited videos were released natively in HD too, so that must be the reason why they didn´t bother to include them on the DVDs...
I don't think there is a single video here that hasn't been released on DVD already, or present on Youtube in a better quality than what will be offered here...
This is not my signature.

Let’s summarise:
- title sounds manspread and thus shit
- tracklisting of the dvd is incomplete and thus shit
- design looks weird and as if there’s a flaw with the A
- typo/font = ultra lame
- not even a new single to promote the package so that the title goes 1985 - 2023 which would make much more sense. This GH appears old and not current before it’s even released.

= what a wasted opportunity and if I was the artist, I’d be totally angry if this would be released the way we currently now.

No, this is down the dumper to me. It’s totally disappointing.

Wait, aren't we just judging a social media post here? Not convinced it's anything final

EDIT: Oh, if that artwork has made it to Amazon then maybe it *is* final. I agree it's a little odd.

Hmm, wasn't Beautiful People a single? I'd prefer that over Yesterday and the over representation of Very, atleast.
