The first of several Greatest Hits compilations, this collection was issued in 1986 after the band made their infamous attempt at a studio reunion. The original plan - to re-record updated versions of their hits - faltered after only two tracks had been given the treatment, as the band quickly slipped back into their warring ways. One of these tracks, a remixed Don't Stand So Close To Me '86 showed some promise. It was totally different to the original pop-version, and much darker and bleaker. If there is a weak spot on the album it's that the original version isn't included for comparison purposes. That apart, this record can't get much better. All of their strongest singles are on the album, which is 45 minutes of pure excellence.
