News flash: there are NO non-album tracks here!

"The editorial review of this CD reissue touts "non-album A and B sides only to be heard on PC or Mac." Similarly, the AllMusic Guide claims that "the 2000 reissue contains a slew of extra tracks and B-sides, making it the version to find." Well, having picked this up with great expectations, I've made my way carefully through all of the PC content, and there are NO non-album tracks to be found on this disc. There is an electronic discography that includes cover art images, track listings, and lyrics from various early Dexys singles, but not a note of additional music. So, if you're planning to pick this up for the original music, the remastered sound, or the videos, you won't be disappointed. But that's all there is to it. If anyone can find extra music on this release, I'd love to know how to access it...."

The singles are available as data in MOV format

"A lot of people mentioned that they can't find the songs of the singles in the CD. The interface in the CD is not very clear. The best way is to use Explorer on the CD. The song files are in Quicktime MOV format in the folder D:\DATA\QTS. I opened the files on Itunes and converted them to audio format. These files CAN'T be played from the original CD on a CD player."

The first and greatest Dexys Album

"I bought this CD having read 'A Music Fans' review not expecting to find any additional tracks and when I found the first five singles (A & B sides) I was delighted. As far as I can tell some of these tracks are not available anywhere else on CD. Tracks like The Horse, Dance Stance (the original version of Burn It Down) and Soul Finger really added to the whole concept of this album. Kevin Rowland has never sounded angrier."
