Most people have mentioned the Rico albums and Dance Craze. The version of Dance Craze has been re-mastered which should be well worth the wait.
I just wonder will there be anything worth reading in the booklet which accompanies the set?  _________________ Richard Eddington is innocent.

If you're in two minds about it I'd definitely say pick it up. We've been sent a copy this week and it's a really special item. The design and attention to detail is very impressive aside of the fact of having (for many of us) 3 Two Tone albums on CD for the first time. They've all been remastered and are sounding great.
There's one other lovely little design feature that hasn't been mentioned yet, I think Chrysalis want to keep it under their hat until Friday, nothing earth-shattering, just a nice little design touch to make it that bit more special.
The sleeve notes booklet looks great and even has its own CD sleeve. I think it complements the release well, but you guys can call that one...
This will probably soar in price in the years to come, so I'd say pick it up now and save yourself a few bob down the line... _________________ http://www.2-tone.info |

Good stuff, looking forward to receiving it soon I hope.
I think there is a slight error on the track listings on the page - Too Much Too Young (on This are Two Tone) is listed as 'The Selecter', got excited for a moment and thought that will be an interesting version _________________ Bernie Rhodes Knows - Dont Argue |

Wally - Now its release day - can you shed more light on this?
Mine's ordered through Amazon, and as I'm not a prime member and have chosen free delivery - it'll probably be a few more days until mine is dispatched as my punishment _________________ Bernie Rhodes Knows - Dont Argue |

It's just the unique inner sleeves for each CD. Jerry suggested the idea to Chrysalis and I think they look great, a nice touch. _________________ http://www.2-tone.info |

The price dropped by £6.59 on Amazon yesterday, so you will get a refund of that amount - which is a nice bonus  _________________ Bernie Rhodes Knows - Dont Argue |

Mine arrived today, can't knock Amazon for delivering on Sundays.
It certainly is a a neat, well put together collection of the albums - very tidy and compact indeed.
I like the box within a box, and the inner CD sleeves, and the printing on the CDs themselves - a very good job with a lot of detail.
Like having mini versions of the original vinyl's in a tidy case.
One negative - I have absolutely no chance of reading the the little booklet, tried putting two pairs of glasses on and still couldn't read the words!
Now whats next? An expanded CD release of Dance Craze with the whole soundtrack, or DVD release.... _________________ Bernie Rhodes Knows - Dont Argue |

May I suggests a trip to Spec Savers!!
Seriously though, I wear glasses myself with varied focal lenses, so without them I can't see either a close range or at a distance and I can read the sleeve notes perfectly without any bother.
What next? Suffice to say 2 Tone in is save hands with its new owners. _________________ Richard Eddington is innocent.

I had a look at the listings again - looking for the second error, after seeing Trojan's post and still couldn't spot it, but in my defence I was focussing more on 'This Are Two Tone' and 'Dance Craze' as I thought it was more likely a misaligned title/ artist (and I am visually impaired as covered in previous post)
Maybe if Simon & Garfunkel get back on speaking terms they could knock out a rendition of Bright Lights to square things up. _________________ Bernie Rhodes Knows - Dont Argue |
