Hot Wax: Barnes & Noble Exclusives

This week, Barnes & Noble customers will be the beneficiaries of a pair of new vinyl reissues that are exclusively available at the venerable bookstore chain. Better yet, they’re both best-of collections from two of the best-selling artists of all time, which means they’re filled from start to finish with classic tracks, but if you find that you simply must get the specific track listings for each, you need only look below this paragraph.

Phil Collins, THE SINGLES: Originally released in 2016, THE SINGLES has been issued in a number of different formats and with a number of different track listings, some going more in-depth into Collins’ career than others. As such, you’ll definitely want to study the info below before purchase, lest you find yourself disappointed about the absence of a favorite track that you’d expected to find.

Madonna, THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION: This was the first-ever Madonna best-of compilation, and it’s still one of the best titles for a greatest-hits collection ever conceived…and, yes, the conception joke was intentional. You can’t go wrong with an album that contains 10 songs that were #1 hits in either the U.S. or the U.K., so to say that this is a must-own is an understatement.
