- Proceed with caution...
This release seems a bit of a desperate attempt at a compilation that the artist didn't have enough material for. I love TFF, but this CD, apart from a few select tracks, leaves you with tracks that are called "remixes" but are nearly indistinguishable from the album and single versions of the songs. The first track, however, is a great recent dancefloor filler reworking of the classic "Shout". This is an "OK" compilation, but buyers should beware though, this compilation isn't exactly what the title leads you to expect. If you are a TFF collector and/or completist you'll probably want this CD, otherwise, get the greatest hits compilation instead.

- So-Called Best Of The Remixes
Well, this one is really different, I'd say the hardcore collector would get this but if I was just a common fan, I'd pass on it, read all the reviews here and a bit late reviewing it since when I got it originally it was around 20 + dollars. This would have really been good if it had just original remixes on it, OK maybe one or two are near original but really, why say it is "The BEST of the remixes", it really is not. If you really want a great remix album (a double too) seek out the Philippines remixes CD (This one is the real deal on remixes) which has become quite rare, really worth it over this one. Anyway, this one is just OK with me but I'm a collector and had to get it. Check out my website sometime and give me a visit at "Judemac Forever", google it.

- for serious fans indeed...
i kinda notice that there was only one very encouraging review for this cd, that of antonio cruz. laurent of australia may have a point here. it is indeed quite expensive and too close for comfort from the original album/remix version.
but then again, as cruz have said, money is no object for the serious fans of tears for fears. i should know, i went all the way to atlanta, georgia to join a bidding for a very rare 4cd demos and remix compilations of the group. it cost me a fortune but i diddn't mind at all. after all, i am not just buying a group's effort. i am also buying a part of history i grew up with.
my $50 suggestion is, if you have the moolah, go splurge on this one. if you don't, wait 10 more years when they start playing these tracks in a vintage show dedicated for 80's pop greats. your choice...
