Basement Jaxx - The Singles

[Chelsea Press 2]

Does anyone know if this is going to be released in the U.S.? It has been available overseas for over a month.

This is a collection of many of their singles and a few remixes.

This wasn't released here (and I assume it won't be) because like the day after the Jaxx won a Grammy, their US label decided to drop them. Astralwerks is the lame.

Anyhow, I shelled out $40 for the special edition with the bonus disc and another $40 for the dvd. Even though that's a ridiculous amount to spend, I'd say they are worth every penny. The dvd especially. It's filled with videos, live stuff, etc. A fun watch. The special edition is worth your time too. Some of the rare tracks are spectacular, in particular (for me at least) Bongoloid. There's even an animated video on the dvd for the track. I wouldn't hold my breath for a US release. That's why I went ahead and spent all that money.

Peace,
Ben

Thanks for the info. I'll get the Special Edition.
