That seems to be the case. The "Rarities" disc on the Super Deluxe box has everything on the standard 3CD version plus several more tracks. The Super Deluxe box also contains all tracks from all singles, of course.



My understanding is that the standard version only initially contained the rarities disc. It will then have two discs, even in the UK, after that initial release.


Perhaps Rob or others more in the know can shed some light.

So, let me get this straight.....


There's a 2 CD version (for us Yanks)
There's a 3 CD version
Then there's the super deluxe 3 CD box, but that third CD is different from the conventional 3CD version's?


Izzat right?

Amazon has it for $14 with a release date of June 4.

But it appears to be a two-disc set only, without the 3rd rarities disc. Fairly warned, be ye. Just buy it from Amazon UK; the price comes out about the same anyway.

Two CD set. 2013 collection from the British Post-Punk legends fronted by Jaz Coleman. With a fierce intelligence plus a thirst for esoteric knowledge that matches a music that is visceral and almost spiritual in its primal spirit, Killing Joke are like no other band. This is a group who came out of Punk and then set out on one of the most remarkable and idiosyncratic journeys ever. The Singles Collection 1979 -2012 captures their ever-evolving story with a series of dark, apocalyptic songs, they have successfully combined Disco and Funk and a shamanic wisdom with the dark side of the Punk fall-out. Their influence has been enormous, with an unlikely roll-call of musicians taking their cues from the KJ catalogue - from Nirvana to most modern American Metal to many DJs and dance music mavericks. few, however, coming close to the band's innate power. 33 tracks.

I have it already, of course, and am still quietly smoldering over the absence of "Turn to Red, " "Pssyche" or "Change" instead of two tracks from OTG and "Fresh Fever" just because they released it on a split single for Record Store Day.

Also, "New Uprising" needed to be on that 3rd disc.
