ZTT / “The Organisation of Pop (London Edition)” / 2CD compilation

The Organisation of Pop (London Edition)  – a two-disc, 38-track anthology of the first 30 years of ZTT Records – will be released on 10 February 2014, the same date as Frankie Said (Deluxe Edition) and The Art of the 12″, Volume Three.

The track listing of this set differs significantly from the New York Edition of the same title, issued in the US back in October. The selections are more European-centric, with for example, Seal’s Crazy replacing Kiss From A Rose, and all three of Frankie‘s UK number ones included on disc one.

The first CD features 19 hit singles from 1983 to the present day, while disc two strolls off the beaten track somewhat and includes tracks like Glenn Gregory and Claudia Brücken’s When Your Heart Runs Out Of Time (2012 version) and Piccadilly Circus by Adamski’s Thing.

Notes by Paul Morley are included in the accompanying 24-page booklet.
