This budget priced 4-CD set provided the first instance of the Durutti Column's back catalogue being reissued on compact disc. The first four studio albums are bundled together in much their original format. The only extra tracks are those from the Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say 12" E.P. which come along at the end of Without Mercy. The packaging is slightly disappointing as much of it is in black and white and the notes are minimal.
