Confirmed! Bananarama 33CD Singles box set: full track listing

So, now this has been out a while, has anyone done a comparison to see how much of this is duplicated on the Edsel reissues/Megarama cd? Is it worth shelling out for them all?

I checked tracks too, and that’s it: the 6 tracks mentioned above (from Megarama 3cd set) are not in the Singles Box! + : track 8, from cd 2, are not there too… Or am i mistaken?

Just got this box and am checking tracks vs Megarama 3CD. Appears the following from the Megarama 3CD are NOT on the box set. Can someone confirm or are the mix names different? Thanks.

1-7 Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) (Acid Remix ’88) Remix – Alan Coulthard 6:16
1-8 Tripping On Your Love (The Sturm Mix) Remix – Larry Sturm 3:59
2-10 Tripping On Your Love (The Lovable Love-Dove Caper) Remix – Terry Farley & Pete Heller 6:27
3-2 Shy Boy (’88 Remix) Remix – Alan Coulthard 6:34
3-8 Ready Or Not (Jolley & Swain 12″ Mix) Remix – Jolley & Swain 5:33
3-10 Strike It Rich (Dub) Remix – Phil Harding 5:13

@Kiefer2, thanks! I’ve been told by a friend that they re-did Nathan Jones CD! I wrote them about the corrected CD without the glitch. They sent me the replacement CD. I’ve got it in about 7 days (UK>NL).

The Bananarama Mega-Mix (10″ and 12″ versions) on Disc 21 (I Want You Back) sound very much like vinyl rips to me, and not really good ones. There is a hum in the background that is noticeable when you transition from another track on that disc, and the sound is not crisp like the rest of the tracks. When they sing “locked in a prison cell” at 0:16 on the 10″ version, there is a telltale blur of distortion on the word “cell,” and it can be heard on other “s” sounds as well.

Perhaps the masters couldn’t be found. But a vinyl transfer can sound better than this.

There’s a jump on Nathan Jones CD-14 @ 1:15! They talked about this on the PWL forum. Some said this 12″ Mix (without the jump) is also on The Twelve Inches Of Bananarama! Other said it’s not the same mix. Nathan Jones CD-03 & 14 sound a like but they are slightly different as well. I hope Edsel will replace the disc!

I love love love Strike It Rich but the mixes are weird. There is:

Album Version (3.29) – sounds more demo-like (no snare)
7″ Version (5.12) – from the LT&H CD
Edit (2:18) – from LT&H CD
Full Length Club Mix (5:14) – from the LT&H CD.
12″ Version (6:00) – from WOW Deluxe
Dub (5.13)

That’s a very long 7″ Version, and the “Full Length Club Mix” is not really full length, is it? It is the same length as the 7″ LOL. And the edit… who fades a song during the second chorus… gahhhh! Seems like a weird thing to do, where did that originally come from?

What is the difference between A Trick Of The Night [Original Jolley & Swain 12” Mix] and [Original PWL Remix]. Can somebody gives me running time? Thanks

Where is the Nathan Jones (Psycho Radio Edit) as found on the US Greatest Hits Collection? I find that version far superior than any other. Also, would have loved to see an album edit of the original More than Physical but I guess it doesn’t exist or there was no room. And the Tripping on Your Love (Metropolis Mix Edit) didn’t fit!!!

i was told Only your love “Love Mix” is the same same as “Youth and Trash mix” Does anyone can tell me?

@Edwin
Only 12 tracks on cd instead of 14 listed on tracklist & back cover??

Did you know that Tripping On Your Love listings are incorrectly printed?Listed at 14 tracks but only 12 listed in the wrong order for the last few.

I am still on the fence about buying this, given the price. Is there any plan for a comprehensive review of the set in the near future?

“Desire dub” is part of Cruel summer’89….It is actually the dub version for the Venus “Greatest remix”

Anyone else compare CD15 of this collection with CD10 of the SAW box set? Not an exact match, never heard of Venus [Desire Dub], and didn’t see it on the 2CD+DVD edition.

“Especially sucks knowing that so many of you in the States already got it last week…”

I live in the states and I got mine last week because it was ordered from a US retailer. Got a good price, much better than Amazon (US or UK). It pays to shop around.

anyone else in Canada still waiting for their box set????? I’ve ordered very often from amazon.co.uk…just since the beginning of 2015 this is my 7th order..and they usually take from 3 to 6 work days….it’s now going on 10 work days tomorrow(thursday)…not counting that 2 weekends have gone by too…I’m getting worried…and dissapointed everytime the mailman gives me a package or a delivery notice when I’m at work….and it turns out to be an item I’m not WATING SO MUCH FOR!!!!Especially sucks knowing that so many of you in the States already got it last week…

At least my chinese copy of Madonna’s Ghost town maxi cd has finally arrived this morning after an entire month :)

Everyone please ignore me-I answered my own questions-Paul, anything you can do about an edit feature would be greatly appreciated by me and anyone who bothered with my easily answered posts! :)

Sorry-it’s the “SIR” version on the “Love Truth & Honesty” snap-pack.

Does anyone know what the version of “Strike it Rich” is on the Japanese 2 track snap-pack? Across all the versions/remasters I haven’t seen any version with that timing (5:02). Could it be the US 7″ Version?

Does anyone else have an error in the 7-Inch Mix of “Only Your Love” (track 1)? It occurs around 3:28-3:31.

It’s one of my favorites and unfortunately there’s a glitch! :( At least the Milky Bar Mix was fixed.

“Does anyone know what version Track #1 is on the “More Than Physical” disc?”

How much longer than the 7″ ? Note that even the 7″ single had multiple versions. The original was released in UK/USA/Canada/Australia. Unsure if this is the one called “worldwide single version” because it was also released as a picture disc. But “A version very similar to this one is available on the album Bananarama – Master Series” which, if I understand correctly, was a UK only mix.

The tracking number for my box says “out for delivery” today. Yes!

Just got back from work…NO BOX SET in my mailbox……This sucks!!!!! I made sure my weekend off was totally free……..and NO mail on monday due to holiday…AAAAARRRRRGH!!!!!!

Does anyone know what version Track #1 is on the “More Than Physical” disc? It is shorter than the album version, but longer than the 7″ single remix. I haven’t been able to find any info on a mix with this time.

You can listen to clips here and they’re decent at two minutes each. Note that a few links play the wrong song, usually “Aie a Mwana” for some reason.

Just got mine yesterday, my neighbors in Brooklyn are going to be hearing a Bananarama marathon this weekend!!

Found out that the 7″ version of Strike It Rich is 12 seconds longer on this box than on the original cd-single I have where that version is on.

I’m still waiting for my copy to arrive here in Canada, but I was just browsing eBay and noticed someone is selling the discs from the set individually for £4.99 each plus shipping. I guess if someone only wanted certain singles this would be welcomed, but I want the whole bunch.

I just heard it once for the moment but LT&H (original 12” mix) has a very interesting beggining with all those little sounds you don’t necesseraly pay attention to when you listen to the single. The end is basically the chorus 3 or 4 times and a last drum only chorus.

For A trick of the night (original PWL mix) it’s the demo you hear in the making of the video (from the WOW DVD) with a different drum line on the chorus, the whole song is very interesting to listen to, one of my favourite.

@Max : So how is the original 12″ of Love truth and Honesty?? what about “A trick of the night” unreleased mixes?

@David : I was able to hear More than Physical (instrumental) and Love truth and Honesty (Original 12” Mix and Instrumental)

There is a glitch on Nathan jones CD, on track 14 (12” mix), just after”as I recall” at 1’15. Apparantly everyone has it.
The track is only available on Nathan Jones Maxi CD. It’s not on the reissues or Megarama. It’s not the Twelve Inches of bananarama version either.

Similar problems with Disc 22 – Love, Truth & Honesty!

Mine arrived in the U.S. today, September 2, from Amazon UK. I must say it was very well packed! Too bad it didn’t come with AutoRip; it will take a couple of days to get into my digital collection.

@David Simon: I’m only up to CD3, so I can’t comment about 16 yet.

My set arrived today and I’m getting it on to iTunes and listening as well.
Has anyone else had any problems with Disc 16 – More Than Physical. I can’t get the last two tracks to play or rip!

Just started listening to the first CD’s. I noticed there’s a lightly alternative intro to the US Dub Version of Shy Boy. This version on the box has no reverb in the intro while the other version has, on one of the recent remasters.

The bonus tack not listed is on ‘He’s Got Tact’, there are 4 tracks including the ‘Original Version’ which is not listed. It is just under a minute long though.

I’ve had the beauty a few days now. I’m still flailing around, there’s just too much!

There is indeed a mention of the Canadian Set On You in the booklet.

Loving the extended King of the Jungle. There’s a track not mentioned on the published listings, I’ll leave that as a surprise. :)

More Trick of the Nights than you can shake a stick at. Nice early J&S version. Likewise for Do Not Disturb.

Fricking BRILLIANT box set. I will be spending my whole weekend with it!!! Quick question, why was “Set on You” not included as a proper CD in this box? I have the Canadian 12″ release and would love a CD with remixes! I know it was a limited release but so was “King of the Jungle” right?

Just logged on amazon.co.uk..and my order was shipped today..I’m in Canada and it usually takes from 3 to 5 work days to get stuff from them…..once it took 2 work days to get a package….i hope it gets here nt friday sept 4…that way I’ll have friday night and all weekend to go through all 33 cds..would suck if it wasn’t here by then cause sept 7 is a holiday in Quebec(no mail) and my next weekend off is 2 weeks later…

Would be cool to get the times for the tracks if someone from the UK already has the set…

Received notice from Amazon UK that mine is shipping to States today also. Can’t wait!

Mine is on the way… And I’ve been charged £79.99 + P&P. I’m sure it was more than that when I ordered. £20 more I think.

I received a shipping notification that mine is on its way to the states.

August 28th seems to be the U.K. release date and Sept. 4th looks like the date U.S. retailers and importers will have it available.

Today I got a partial refund of €25 through PayPal from jpc de! I just visited their site & learned this box is now €119,99! & the release date is postponed to 25/09/2015! Yes, ka-ching, €25 off.

Now this looks like how you make a boxset that makes fans very happy.

I’m a fan of a sticker and a tacky badge as much as anyone but 33 cd’s with so many mixes on each is a fantastic effort all round.

Surely these 90’s Brit Pop releases can stand back and have a look at how to do it properly.

Are they for real with the release date? I got an email from amazon pushing the date back once again, to September. Now SDE says it’s coming out this week, and indeed amazon.co.uk shows a release date of August 28th.
I placed my order immediately, and am in no rush to get it, thankfully, because these constant delays really do a trick of fans. Whenever it will come out, it will be great.

Absolutely brilliant. The only negative comment would be that the original artwork was much, MUCH better. But who cares, as long as the music is all there. Just like the new Duran album cover is hideous but the new songs are brilliant. Thanks for the site Paul. Can’t tell you that enough!
