Depeche Mode and Erasure put out their versions of these sets like what, a decade ago?

true... it's absolute crap that there's not a definitive 12" Collection... sure there's Substance, but that wasn't really complete though
and in response to negative1 about
:
i think something will eventually emerge,
but 'new order' aren't exactly on the level
that 'depeche mode', 'u2', 'blondie', 'madonna'
and 'erasure' seem to still have...
-> I don't think it's necessarily about them being on the same level as those aforementioned bands, I mean even Duran Duran released two boxsets of all the singles... (although it frustraitingly didn't include stuff off of Medazzaland [which, btw - I just rediscovered... and it's really aged well... I just wish I had gotten ahold of its corresponding singles])
So - is it just that DD have a bigger fanbase / more rabid than NO? I really doubt that... especially as the bulk of the second boxset pretty much highlighted their 'not so good phase' (basically '86-'93 when 'the wedding album') came out...
but to get back on track -
I don't see why NO don't do what U2 did on iTunes, and release a massive 'boxset' of all the album tracks / bsides / remixes. I mean, that was pretty much complete - save for a few cover songs and alternate soundtrack versions... and that even came with a nice 'digital booklet' which contained all the covers as well as little bits talking about the tracks ...I think the Edge wrote them
...and I just want to make it clear - no I do not consider myself a 'big duran duran fan' - I just liked their 90's releases, and a couple of the older tracks
