Mine just turned up as well, really impressed with it. Sounds great and nice to hear a few new mixes of songs!

Does anyone have a list of which songs are previously unreleased?

The Cape Connection mix, Fatman session and lyric version of the "Ravey" mix of OSK have been floating around for a long time so I was kind of disappointed to just get a new demo. However I love the artwork, and only listen to files rather than CDs, so I scanned it and made my own 6 disc "best of" Def Comms.

#1 - Now For A Box Frenzy
#2 - This is the Day, This Is The Cure For Sanity
#3 - The Looks or the Dos Dedos (includes 4 from Lick of the Cassette Box, "Their Law" and the Clint vocal of "Ghosts")
#4 - New Noise Designed For an Anti Nasty League (using the box set cover, includes Babylon RIP, Demon + Axe of Men Garcia version from that single, and the mixes I did from this era for the songs I had all the stems for)
#5 - Remixes (Gorilla cover) including a bunch of my own mixes and rare things like the Accucrack "War Inside My Stupid Head", "Chaos + Mayhem" Southern Belle, good ones other people did on Soundcloud
#6 - PWEI Are Family - Instrumentals like Wild West, Dirty Harry, some from ANL Instrumental + solo material incl Golden Claw Musics, Vile Evils, Je Suis, Clint and Fuzz.

If only I had one more cover piece! #7 would be the best of live/ radio sessions. I guess #8 would be demos and #9 covers.

I just received mine yesterday and there's some new stuff for me as I never bought any of the releases after they reformed. Maybe I've missed these on some other re-issues but I notice the following 'edited' tracks on CD 1:

Grebo Guru - missing the "Any minute now pop will eat itself... very much like scruffy pigs..." spoken intro
Satellite Ecstatica - missing the siren sound at the beginning of the track
