Comments: Another Greatest Hits collection. More comprehensive than Best Moves, but not really as inspired, although it lasted well in the charts. A worthy addition to any CdeB collection just the same. Look out in particular for Diamond In The Dark, only available on this album or the CD Single AMCD537. The German release of this collection notably lacks Spanish Train.
