    Firstly, I can't believe no one else has posted a comment yet, it's been out since 2011!
    Secondly, I love this album, and I love The Pointer Sisters. I had this album on vinyl back in the day, and I really wish my mum hadn't given it away after I flew the nest (along with all my other vinyl records).
    I'm doodling around with my music collection today, trying to organise and sync, those things we have to do these days. And as I look at this release, and ire the cover and packaging, I just wonder why we really needed to have the same 7 songs/mixes doubled up across the two discs.
    In my mind I would’ve loved to have seen a “dream” 11-track album, basically the 1984 release with Nightline, and then the original album mixes of Jump and Operator included amongst the bonus tracks.
    Ideally, disc 1 - the “dream” 11-track 1984 album, with Nightline added at its original position, plus the 2 original 1983 album mixes, then the 6 single edits and remixes. Disc 2 is then simply all the 8 12” mixes.
    Come and get it while it's HOT! :)
