Review by Hedgehog, 2009-11-28
Others have commented on the style and genre - great nostalgia here, and certainly worth owning. But - for those who own the original LP - aren't some of the track versions different? The standout is "Modern Man" - it's not the original from the LP. Anyone know where one can get the original tracks from the LP on CD? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm right - scouted around a bit, and found the original version of "Modern Man" here:

Interesting. Get both. :)

This was noteworthy at one time for being the only way you could get most of the album "New York London Paris Munich" on CD. The differences make it an interesting collectable; it omits the updated disco medley of "Moderne Man/Satisfy Your Lust", and presents both songs in their original format, when both tracks were split into a 7" single. It is an odd choice, since both of the songs are recorded in a style that owes more to glam rock than disco, and they sound at odds with the rest of the tracks. This isn't an album proper, however. It also contains the original B-side to "Pop Muzik", "M Factor", and this particular compilation remains the best way to own that track (the eventual issue of "New York London Paris Munich" on CD contained a wealth of bonus material, but the bonus tracks are all linked together and contain little fragments of one another at their beginnings and ends).
I don't really understand why another reviewer complained about the sound quality of this disc, because I never noticed anything bad about it. Now that "New York London Paris Munich" has been released in a more deluxe package, you may want to pick that version up instead of this one. However, diehards will want that version of "M Factor" with the proper intro.

if you liked it then, you will love it now in digital - just turn up the bass.

I bought this cd due to the fact that my old 12 inch single version of Pop Muzik is still in the cabinet, yet I have not used a turntable in years. The songs are definately dated, but that is part of the allure. I will say some songs have fared better than others especially overseas, which is where I first heard two of the songs on this album. Overall if you enjoy late 70s Disco with New Wave mixed in, then this will be a good choice.

however THIS edition is on the "COLLECTABLES" line - well, as the other ones from this company I have purchased it sounds like they transferred the vinyl right to a CD burner in a living room.
This is a MONUMENTALLY great recording - Moonlight and Muzak / Woman Makes Man ! Genius. DO NOT BUY THIS ONE - there are other releases however I did not look further into the catalog on amazon when I purchased this 2nd rate rubbish - so I am returning and reordering.
