'Best of Electronic'; any good?

[Maurice E]

Hi,
I really liked a couple of the Electronic singles (For You and Getting Away From It) and wondered whether there were many songs of a similar quality on the 'best of'.
Mr John Maher seems to think it's pretty good but, then again, he would!
Any thoughts appreicated.
Thanks.
Maurice

I don't have that but the first record is a classic, great all the way through.

Ditto.

I'm sure the Best Of is good too but you will definitely not go wrong buying the debut LP, which is vastly underrated.

best of is better than the albums, i know ive got them and all disapoint in one way or another. better off with a monaco album though or a new order album

I was glad this thread came up, I've been considering the same thing. I think I like Electronic, but I was gpoing to start with a best of.

What's the name of their first album though, as a couple of you have said it's good?

Electronic, "Electronic".

The album Melody Maker called the greatest of all time.

The production on it is horrible. Such a shame.

Yep, its VERY worth it. But there's A LOT of songs not on it, that I think really should have been included. In fact, I think everything off "Twisted Tenderness" should have been on it, LOL.. but that wouldn't make sense, but yeah. lol. VERY under-rated album.

I hope they reform Electronic again soon.

thanks for these comments. I think I might go and buy it. well, if I can get it for a fiver!
it hasn't sold at all well which is amazing when you consider it's the Smiths' musical composer and New Order's singer. I bet Johnny isn't at all pleased...
