    Having just recently got the blu-ray, which is amazing, I have a question regarding the associated vinyl/cd release of the soundtrack. Does the version of Nite Klub have the talking over the end of the song like in the film? I was thinking of also buying the 3xCD reissue, but having got the remastered version recently as part of the 2-Tone box and since I can rip the audio from the bluray for the soundtrack, do I really need it? Haven't watched it all yet, so I don't know if there's other bits like this or if it's just that first track.

      Just received the new Deluxe Edition boxset (not yet listed here) from amazon uk. Very happy with the packaging, price & sound quality. 3 records, first 2 records have the 27 songs from the film sountrack and the third is a copy of the original LP. Without doing a proper sound comparison with my original LP, the new boxset vinyls were clean, crackle free and the last album sounded similar to the original. edit. i would say my original has slightly more clarity but i guess that's normal and as I played it to death I wanted a copy that is clean sounding. For the 27 extra tracks and for £37.00 I'm very happy.

        Why is this listed as a compilation? It is an abridged soundtrack to a movie, not a compilation.
        All the tracks are live versions not previously available anywhere other than in the film.
        Soundtracks such as Guardians Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) are, to me, compilation albums but this definitely isn't.
        Any comments?

          I would like to hear about it.

                Chrysalis records also with 2Tone logo on cover and paper label. Dated 1981.
