    I found this set to be so shrill and treble high that I had to stop listening to it and sold it without ever finishing it. Obviously, your milage may vary based on the reviews below.

      It's a pity that there is no version without dvd (like Listen w-out Prejudice/MTV Unplugged)

        Besides quite some versions (acapella's, instrumentals. edits and so on) of tracks like Freedom, I'm Your Man,Wake Me Up Befoe You Go Go, that still remain vinyl-only, this really is an almost complete general overview of the youthful Wham.
        The track Blue is there (previously only on a 1997 Japanese cd single and a more recent So80s compilation) but for me the best of all is a surprisingly beautiful cd-exclusive of Last Christmas (Instrumental). It shows the amazing talent that George Michael was and, to paraphrase Andrew Ridgeley, how we should the good stuff he left behind. This release certainly helps new generations and those who are familiar with what the fuss of Wham was all about, to do so.

          It's definitely a great upgrade from previous collections. Crisp sound with excellent quality so far in my listen. A must have for fans. Great job Sony Music Japan.

          NOTE: I could play the DVD (region 2) in my LG All-Region player. It auto-switches to DVD region and played fine.

            I don't know if it's the mix or the blu spec CD2 -or both- but the CD sounds incredibly clear, fresh and bright. This is happy music !!!!

              Is anybody else having trouble playing the DVD on a stand alone DVD player? I have a multi-region blu-ray/DVD player (Insignia NS-WBRDVD3) and have it set to Region 2 but the DVD won't load.
