Product Description
Welcome to the Playlist series. We've fished through hundreds of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits, but...the life-changing songs. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artists who they are. You'll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD, unlike the compromised sound of an MP3 file.

You might also like the fact that the packages are environmentally-friendly (no plastic, 100% recycled paper). But we think the thing you'll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn't make it, you might wish you did. This package has been created with the environment in mind. All of the paperboard is 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. Of course, we would prefer that you not throw this package or CD away. We would prefer that you keep it in your collection to enjoy for many years to come! Full liner notes, photos, and more included as a PDF file on this CD. Enjoy!

Don't I already have 3 or 4 comps for Rick Astley?

And in better packaging, most likely.

Oh, but this one has the LOVER's LEAP REMIX of "Together Forever"!!!

I hate when they do that shit...

So it turns out that there's a whole series of these releases for many Sony/BMG artists. And oddly, they include a lot of 45 mixes, which will appeal to collectors, while the price and crappy cardboard packaging is aimed at casual fans. But then again, each is an enhanced CD that includes "digital" booklets and liner notes. Go figure.

The Eddie Money entry includes the long-sought-after 45 version of "Two Tickets to Paradise," which is apparently a completely different recording. Hall & Oates has 8 single mixes and the video mix of "Out of Touch." Rick Astley and Rick Springfield each have a slew of single mixes. Of course, all of these acts have been anthologized to death already, so I can't say whether these mixes have been available on CD before.

Jimbo, are the digital booklets and liner notes included on the CDs themselves or do we have to download them from a website?

I think they're right on the CDs but I'm hesitant to try it out at work. I'll take some home and check back later.
