    CD1 is weirdly quieter than CD2, but it's worth getting for CD2 alone. Comes with the full 'Wide Awake In America' EP, 2 amazing mixes of 'Wire', a version of 'A Sort Of Homecoming' featuring Peter Gabriel AND the full length original version of '11 0'Clock Tick Tock'. What more can you ask for?!
