PWL Extended Big Hits And Surprises comprises 24 tracks is available as a 3CD set and two 2LP vinyl packages (Vols. 1&2). The tracks chosen showcase the depth and breadth of the PWL output; along with classic 12-inch mixes of massive hits from Kylie Minogue (‘Hand On Your Heart’ The Great Aorta Mix, ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ Extended Mix and ‘What Kind Of Fool?
