"Where [a 25th anniversary] would usually be an excuse for a label to put out a standard sampler showing off some of their best-selling material, Real World, true to form, use it as an opportunity to create something special. Each of the three CDs has a different theme - the first a selection from the label's "classic" albums, The second explores some of Real World's more obscure releases, and the third features tracks selected through a public vote. This works really well, giving the listener an opportunity to hear great music that might otherwise have been lost in the depths of the catalogue - giving a sense of discovery".
