9th November 2014 this collection entered the chart at no. 64.
16th November 2014 this had disappeared from the chart.

The three disc deluxe edition comes in at less than 90 minutes (!) ...
The bonus disc has just 7 tracks and is barely over 20 minutes .... 68 minutes of spare cd space !!
And then even less than that on the DVD which implies concert footage but is far from it.
This release was a startling lack of value for money.
