Sweetbox // Greatest Hits [3 CD + Download]

greatesthitskr

On the 20th July 2007, Sony BMG released a 3 CD Greatest Hits package in Korea. The first two discs contain songs from the other albums released in Korea, from Classified to Addicted, making them a pretty solid collection of songs from the current front woman, Jade (even though Shakaklaka sneaks in at the end of disc two). Disc three is titled New + Remix. As it would suggest, these are tracks which have been released elsewhere (as there are a few tracks from the Raw Treasures album which was a European exclusive for once), live versions or indeed, other remixed versions of classic songs.

For fans outside of Korea though, there is some disappointment. A further 4th disc was released as a digital download and therefore can only be purchased by those in Korea (unless of course, you know of other means) This digital download included brand new remixes of For the Lonely and Life is Cool as well as other remixes of songs either available on singles in other countries or only available on vinyl)

Looking at it, it's a nice package, which could be used to introduce the listener to the music of Sweetbox and allow them to sample what has been and gone in the past and what Sweetbox came to be.
Rating: 5/5
