Its pretty good.
PET SHOPPIBONE (Mega-Mix) - essentially a mega mix of remixed hits
DEVICE (Remix/Megamix) a 'version' of Left to my own devices with some effects and stuff added. Its hard to beat the original album version though.

Yes, it's surprisingly good. Petshoppibone is the only PSB megamix I genuinely enjoy. It incorporates a lot of mixes from the 2nd 12" singles which I'd never heard at the time when I bought this. From memory, it includes mainly mixes from the era spanning It's A Sin through to It's Alright. The overall sound is very very good.
Device is OK, it's just an extended Left To My Own Devices that borrows from a few of the different remixes. Better than a kick in the pants.
Retro.

Yes. I have both On-U-Sound 12" vinyls. I loved it when I bought it back then.
Havn't heard them lately. Must listen now...

I'm not particularly big on megamixes me, but i like the b side as it gave me my first hearing of the the excellent shep pettibone mix of Devices.
