The 2013 official limited edition box set (100 copies released worldwide) never made it to Discogs. I have a copy, but lack experience in adding a listing to this site.

Edited 7 years agoI wish they had sequenced the album into "disco" and "cabaret" sides:
Disco: Don't Leave Me This Way, Disenchanted, So Cold The Night, You Are My World, Heavens Above
Cabaret: La Dola Rosa, Reprise, Lover Man, Don't Slip Away, Forbidden Love,
My initial interest that got me drawn into the band was the disco, but what got me hooked is the cabaret. -
Another example of fantastic pop songwriting using powerful themes at it's heart. Still relevant today, a great synth pop LP tempered by some more 'traditional' songs and arrangements.
Their fiollow up 'Red' is just as good. -
This would have been a good album if they turned down the politics a notch.
Political views of any kind Doesn't match with music!
