Review by kuma.chan Feb 22, 2009

A nice idea - collect together all the various tracks from Odelay and its singles plus some bonus unreleased cuts and release it on a nice deluxe edition on 180g wax. A not so nice idea, put a $90 price tag on it (+$35 to have it shipped to the UK) and you are talking about a release that costs 4-5 times what a regular 4xLP would cost - talk about taking the piss!? Also it seems they have missed quite a few tracks from the various releases so its not the ultimate Odelay - I couldn't find one 12" where all tracks are included here! The packaging is nice but not $50 extra nice - the Simply Vinyl reissue came in a much better quality plastic sleeve and the build quality should be a lot better for the price.

It would be nice to see the same for Mellow Gold and Mutations but this time with a more sensible price tag.

Still, they have confidence they can shift three thousand of them at this price so good luck to them, and the music here is priceless!
