This was a two disc collection at one time.
There were two disc included with mine; howerver, the remixes excluding "Walk Like Egyptian" are not the club versions I remember. I bought this collection about 5 years ago. They are extended versions, but nothing like the versions on their 12" Mixes cd released back in 1987. The sound was horrible on this budget release though.

The sound quality on these discs are superb. I'm not going to complain. The remixes were better on the 87' disc, but the sound quility really sucked. If you were lucky enough to get this two disc version collection, you hit the jackpot. It appaers this release is only available as a single disc now.

The Most Complete Album From Bangles To These Days!
I bought this album 2 years ago and it has all their hits and includes a bonus cd with their remixes, I think I'm lucky to have this one because,as I read in other reviews today it doesn't have the bonus cd with the remixes, That's why I rated with 3 stars, now.


No Second Disc-Buyers Beware!
On its own merits, this is still the best single-disc compilation available for this group, but don't buy it expecting to get a second disc of remixed rarities. The disc of remixes described in the editorial review is NO LONGER INCLUDED in this greatest hits set.

Buy it, instead, for every charting single the Bangles had--as well as Susanna Hoffs' sole Top 40 hit, "My Side of the Bed"--and an excellent selection of album tracks, and you'll be satisfied. (Then, if you still want more, pick up the Bangles' excellent reunion album from last year, DOLL REVOLUTION. With harmonies and jangling guitars intact, it was a solid return after 15 years apart. ).


Great mix!
It even has four from Susanna Hoffs' two solo albums. This is a wonderful mix of many different Bangle's songs. There are great hits such as Walk Like An Egyptian, Manic Monday, Eternal Flame, and Hazy Shade Of Winter.


False Advertising
I really wanted it since based on the reviews, there were a bunch of extended remixes on it. A friend just got me this cd from my wish list for Christmas. I've got most of the other tracks already. However, when it arrived, it turns out it only contains one disc, not two. There are no remixed tracks. Just 21 tracks and not even in the same order as listed on the track listing on this page. Needless to say I'm very disappointed and I feel badly that my friend paid out nearly $20 for something I don't really need.
