The artwork is amazing, liberating. I sincerely hope for a massive booklet.

I zoomed in on one of the track comments and it seemed to be word for word something I read elsewhere. Hope it’s not just a copy and paste of previous comments. I was disappointed by the paucity of Formats booklet/interview compared to the brilliance of Alternatives
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

I forgot all about the Agenda EP. Perhaps they don't count that as a single because it only had a digital release and a limited CD run with Annually? But On Social Media would've been a fun addition.

Question: the tracklist states 'Was It Worth It (7" Version)'. Did it differ to the version on 'Discography'?

No, Discography carries the 7" version. I guess they're clarifying it's not the 12" which appears on Behaviour Further Listening.

Here's my stab at the discs' running times based on my playlist with the same versions from other releases:

• CD1: 76m 51s
• CD2: 73m 27s
• CD3: 68m 29s

So space for a couple more tracks on CD3, or with 'I'm With Stupid' closing CD2, it'd free up around 13 mins of space on CD3 for 2 or 3 other singles.

Does anyone know whether the official store takes pre-order payments straight away, or at the time of release? Asking for a (married) friend

Maybe Farrow got bored designing for yet another GHs projects :wall:

This might be the first PSB physical set I wont be buying :shhh: Streaming all the way

Its funny how "Snow in Xmas" was an exclusive fan only collectable and now on every compilation. I have no idea, why they wont resissue Relentless then :grumble:
Left to my own devices, I probably would...

If they reissued Relentless, someone would grumble about there being nothing new on it, and that any fan who wanted it already had one from eBay or torrents etc...
