I just got the Gorillaz Singles Collection and I thought I'd try to doing a nice review (with lots of pictures) of it.
Overall I'm a bit disappointed with the track listing of this album, there is no incentives for collectors like me to buy it (911 would have been nice) I guess the remixes and Doncamatic are supposed to be them, but I already own the remixes on two different CDs (the first album and G-sides) and I own the Doncamatic single on both CD and Vinyl. Other then that I think the track listing is fine for what it is. (I guess you could complain further that there are no songs from the Fall but I don't mind)
I went with the 7" box set version asI'm a hipster it's more about the physical package rather then what's on it. It comes in a box that flips open to reveal the album on 8 separate records and a poster. The box is a bit thinner then I'd like but doesn't feel too cheep.
More pictures of the box.
The poster is in the same collage style as the cover art. it's double sided, but doesn't really capture my interest too much as I've seen most of these pictures before.
The records have one track per side and feature the original artwork of the single. They are done in the style of typical modern 7" singles with (unfortunately) no inner sleeves. I like how Clint Eastwood and 19-2000 are each on their own separate disc. Interestingly Kids With Guns and El Manana are on separate disks, as they were released together on this same format. I guess they did that so they wouldn't annoy collectors.
Clint Eastwood
19-2000
Tomorrow Comes Today/ Rock the House
Feel Good Inc/ DARE
Dirty Harry/ Kids With Guns
El Manana/ Stylo
Superfast Jellyfish/ On Melancholy Hill
Rhinestone Eyes/ Doncamatic
Overall its a nice collection, although it doesn't feel as "premium" as I was expecting. Gorillaz collectors and vinyl fans would definitely enjoy this set.
