Got my order in yesterday! I was really happy to see that ALL of the mixes are actually included in this set (well except for the Fallen Angel single mix). I'm so used to there being one exclusive track on vinyl (Fallen Angel 12" in this case) or elsewhere, but they didn't do that this time.

Also pre-ordered
Would have been nice if that Andy Bell/Gareth mix of Nerves Of Steel was on it.
Also those unused Neon tracks could have been bsides
Oh well. Just glad to have these on CD format

I think there is something else coming,Vince hinted on the Staying In With Erasure 3 that the alternate Neon May well be bundled with something else,plus there’s the mystery of the missing 6 new tracks.

Good grief. They aren't "unused". They aren't recorded. Vince said that they only just managed to finish the core 10 tracks they'd selected for the album before lockdown. Implies to me that the other tracks (which weren't chosen) were left unfinished, without recorded vocals and definitely not mixed. They are as far away as 'unused' as you can possibly get.

We might see them in the future in some capacity, but they weren't recorded.

I hope you’re right!! That would be exciting to get official confirmation but I guess we’ll have to be patient. It’s certainly not like V&A to leave us with no b-sides so I suspect they’ll happily surprise us!

Anyone else notice that "Nerves of Steel" is listed as "Nerves of Steele" on the back of the box?
