The only reason why I can offer up is that the excellent Product boxed set <b>only</b> ever crossed my path (in the States) in the CASSETTE format. Product was a very handy and convenient assemblage, but I was not buying cassettes! The albums were separately issued on CD but then you missed the singles. No, Product on CD was what I wanted. Nothing less would do. So to this day I don't have it. Moreover, the only time I ever even <i>heard</i> those classic songs was the time I saw the reformed Buzzcocks at Janus Landing in St. Pete in 1994 (or thereabouts).<br /><br />I did get the "new" Buzzcocks album of 1993, "Trade Test Transmission." It's really good! They probably had more since then I gather.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
