Odd Budget Comps Coming Your Way from Universal

October 19, 2010 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

Two unusual listings have appeared from Universal's U.K. arm: budget-priced, double-disc compilations for ABC and Tears for Fears.

They're certainly appealing to the collector of either band, but they sure are strange; the sets don't have any cohesive order about them. They're all singles, album cuts and some B-sides just sort of mixed up. Odd.

In any case, they might be fun if you haven't purchased any deluxe editions or other sets with these tracks. So have a look after the jump for track lists and order links!
