About this deal

The following is the personnel for the Greatest Hits disc, and does not apply to the Acoustic Hits bonus disc.

The video track listing mirrors that of the North American audio CD, with the exception of "The Caterpillar", "Pictures of You" and "Close to Me (Closest Mix)" which appear as hidden Easter eggs. They rose to fame in the late 70's and early 80's as the post-punk / alternative scene was then blooming, The Cure being at the forefront. When ripped into audacity, there's no real dynamic range to speak of; with just a handful of exceptions for intros/outros, all songs come close to flatlining at full volume.
