I keep seeing this CD around Amazon and a few other places but for the life of me can't find a track listing! I'm fairly sure it's a compilation, does anyone have any information about it? Not that I need it but I do have an obsessive collector's urge to buy it anyway, it's really cheap.

It's a compilation of all their old stuff. It was the very next CD I had listened to after "Polaroids" (This was before the whole Japan/Sylvian obsession had begun) And I put this CD in, and heard this glam punk stuff, and was like "Nope! This isn't Japan! This must be something else." And took it out. I love the early stuff now, though! Here's the tracklisting:

1. Wish You Were Black
2. Television
3. The Unconventional
4. Transmission
5. Automatic Gun
6. Love is infctious
7. Sometimes I feel so low
8. The Tenant
9. In Vogue
10. Halloween
11. A Foreign Place (Not on any other albums!)
12. Don't Rain on My Parade

I just now noticed the extra song on this CD! I'm gonna have to pop it in and see what it is!

Yes, it's a compilation. Don't know exactly when it was released but it's a collection of songs from their three first albums.

Here's the track list:

Wish you were black
Television
The Unconventional
Transmission
Automatic Gun
Love is infectious
Sometimes I feel so low
The Tennant
In Vogue
Halloween
A foreign place
Don't rain on my parade

*runs to Amazon.................*

I gotta get it even if it is a compilation!!!!

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I'm with Krausy, totally buying it now. It'd be a good CD for the car.

Hmmm, yes it does sound like a good car CD....I've never heard of 'A Foreign Place' before...(it's a recurring phrase isnt it though....the lyric 'a foreign town' somes up every now and again)...I wonder why it aint on any of the other albums - maybe it's one of those tracks that's only recently been unearthed....?

I just found "a Foreign Place" as the B-side of one of my recently acquired 7" singles from ebay, A-side is "Quiet Life"---I'll have to give this a listen; been busy up til now moving and decorating..............

If anyone finds a copy of that cd can you let me know, I tried Amazon last night, both US and UK and could not find it

It's a really nice instrumental! I like it a lot... It's worth having!

Really? There are new and used copies here in the Amazon Marketplace ranging from $4-$16, but I know that some people aren't comfortable ordering from there. Though I order from the Marketplace all the time and never have problems.

I love A Foreign Place! It really sort of foreshadows the style of Tin Drum.

Ahhh, cool!!!!! Thanks for the link my dear....................off to buy it now..................................

The beauty of the internet!!!!!!! Yeah, one click and all your money is theirs--

Yes but in return you get MUSIC! And that HAS to be a good thing. They get rich and we get spiritually and emotionally uplifted. Win-win.
