    Out of curiosity, considering the comprehensive 2013 2CD album reissues and "In A Bunch" CD-Singles box set, I thought I would compare the contents of "Megarama" in November 2023 to see which tracks remain exclusive to this release. There are 6 tracks that are ONLY available (on the CD format) on this 3CD collection:

    1. Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) (Acid Remix '88) (1988)
    2. Tripping On Your Love (The Sturm Mix) (1991)
    3. Tripping On Your Love (The Loveable Love-Dove Caper) (1990)
    4. Shy Boy ('88 Remix) (1988)
    5. Ready Or Not (Jolley & Swain 12" Mix) (1986)
    6. Strike It Rich (Dub) (1987)

      If you don't want to spend the money on the singles box (which, don't get me wrong, is worth EVERY single penny), then adding this 3 disc compilation to the 6 2CD sets will cover all the major must-have mixes. Plus its design is the same as those sets so it fits right in. Like those, this is beautifully packaged with tons of information and photos and the same top quality sound mastering (once again by Tom Parker who also did the singles box). I have all the 2CD sets, the singles box AND this compilation and have no need or plans to get rid of any of them!

        This is worth it alone for the Original 12" mix of Only Your Love. It's like Bananarama partying with Primal Scream and The Rolling Stones. If only they had released a single edit of this mix...

          This is the perfect complement to the 6 Bananarama reissues! It fills in all the material missing from these 6 albums. That is until the Bananarama singles box set came into existence! Now we are in Bananarama overload!
