So, we got our hands on the deluxe box set of The Singles Collection from Britney Spears coming out November 23! The black box is smaller than we imagined, though we don’t know why we thought it would be any bigger. The first single we pulled out from the glorious set was the most recent hit, 3,we turned it over, and to our surprise, saw this:

The tracklisting for the single listed 3 tracks, we were SHOCKED and DELIGHTED that somehow this unannounced Donni Hotwheel Megamix made its way under the radar and onto the collection! Well we proceeded to remove the disc from its slip sleeve packaging and saw this track listing printed on the actual CD front:

Now we were confused, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!? Did the Groove Police Mix not make the actual record? We hoped that was the case and that the megamix really did exist on this disc, but once inserted into our Mac, our itunes displayed 2 Tracks

Track 1:  3 – Running Time 3:33    Track 2:  3 – Running Time 7:12

Turns out Track 2 IS the Groove Police Remix, and Track 1 is as expected the album version! Now that this issue was solved, we wanted to know where the hell is the Donni Hotwheel Megamix!!?? Opened the folder to the CD single, hoping it was some sort of super hidden track, but NOTHING! JUST A BIG BIG MISPRINT!! 

Once we got over our dissappointment that Sony somehow let this HUGE slip up get to production, we were throughly satisfied with the box set! We really enjoyed ripping the songs in chronological order(Recommended, nice stroll down memory lane)! Here are some key highlights from the set!

1.The back of each single is numbered for the box set.

2.Singles such as Not A Girl… incude the Crossroads movie promo on front(Gives it that original print feeling we just love)!

3.The booklet for the deluxe set comes printed on high quality glossy paper.

4. DVD is WORTH IT ALONE! Has mostly all the videos, 3 must have just missed the deadline! Though it wouldn’t have hurt to include bonus features on it!

Overall, a solid 4.5/5 Stars
