>
> 1. The Pop / Art distinction seems rather artificial.  Why not in
> chronological order like Discography?
>
> 2. They referred to 'UK Top 20 hits', and so there is no 'Was it worth
> it?' included which got to #24(?);
>
> 3. No 'Absolutely Fabulous' (perhaps not a surprise, really, as it
> wasn't 'really' PSB);
>
> 4. The lyrics for 'Miracles' appear on http://www.petshopboys.co.uk/ ;
>
> 5. The notes mention 'No US release date decided', but I don't think we
> have a _UK_ release date either?
>
> 6. Overall, not much here for the fans is there?  I think there is maybe
> _one_ of the remixes that I don't possess;
>
> 7. Despite (6), I'll probably still _buy_ it :-)
