Well, it WOULD be false advertising except for the fact that they are
absolutely unconditionally telling the truth.  I have had this CD for
well over a year and it does indeed have everything from the 2 record
set.  It's about 74 minutes long.  The original Virgin UK pressing
(available here as import) was missing "leisure" and "Down In The
Cockpit" but they are both restored on the Geffen (domestic) pressing.

There is a mailing list devoted to xtc, by the way.  The address to
