There are much better Falco 'hits' collections to be had but the reason to seek out this CD is for the 3 extremely rare bonus tracks. The Salieri remix of "Rock Me Amadeus" is the version most Americans will recognize. This is the 8+ minute version that was included on the now out of print U.S. pressing of FALCO 3. I assume in the 80s there was an edit of this version as that was what we in the U.S. heard on the radio but I've never seen it show up on any Falco or 80s Hits compilation.
Even harder to come by are the extended versions of "Jeanny" and "Coming Home (Jeanny, Part 2)", the other two bonus tracks here. These are the original German 12" versions, not the remixes from the Remix Hit Collection from the 1991. The extended version of "Jeanny" appeared on the long out of print CD compilation MAXI HIT SENSATION and an English language version (12" UK Mix) appears on the Falco compilation HELDEN VON HEUTE. I've never seen the 12" version of "Coming Home" on CD before.
Falco was one of the most remixed artists in the 80s & 90s but the mixes remain hard to come by. His label would be wise to reissue his albums in deluxe versions collecting the single remixes on a bonus CD like Pet Shop Boys and Thompson Twins did with their catalogues.
,BUT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON DECEMBER 28TH, 1999 IF YOU ARE A FALCOS' FAN YOU WILL LOVE THIS SELECTION. IS AN IMPORTED ITEM.THANKS
