"Both LPs have been remastered in coloured vinyl, but the box set (now an unexpected tribute to Hall following his death from pancreatic cancer in December 2022) is the only place to find the wealth of additional content, including a DVD of promo clips, Top Of The Pops appearances, and a full gig from the Old Grey Whistle Test concert series. Much of the bonus audio has been previously available on expanded reissues of the albums, but the dozen or so new extras are led by a real curio, David Byrne's other-worldly guide vocal on a rough version of Bob Dylan's If Dogs Run Free from the Waiting sessions".

"A treasure trove, the first-ever collection of Fun Boy Three's exceptional two years as one of the most exciting and leftfield pop groups of the early 1980s, compiled prior to the sad passing of Terry Hall in 2022 ... If anyone is out there, like me, who has perhaps overlooked the trio, or just not given them the attention then this collection is well worth picking up. For aficionados who may have had most of this over various releases, it's still worth a purchase for the rarities and the cleaned-up versions of the videosʺ.
