The all-too-brief early ’80s career of synthpop duo Yazoo — comprised of singer Alison Moyet and former Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke — will be anthologized next month on a new 2CD set called The Collection, which assembles singles, cuts from the band’s two albums and both vintage and recent remixes.
The set is due out Sept. 10 in the U.K. via Demon Music Group’s Music Club Deluxe imprint, the label behind the new Duran Duran compilation that arrives on the same day. The Yazoo collection features 52 tracks, including several of the recent remixes of the duo’s work that appeared on 2008’s Reonnected EP. Check out the full tracklist below.

That’s a great photo!
Weird that it’s not a Mute records release, but I guess selling to EMI made this happen. Still looks like a decent release except for the omission of “In Your Room” and “And On”.
Oops…meant “In My Room”.
that photo looks like it could have been taken in 2012
that’s all fine and good but what ever happened to the LIVE DVD from the reunion tour?
