Controversy

A day before the set was revealed, it was revealed that mono mixes had been supplied for the "All in the Body, All in the Mind" singlette, with hints of a lossless replacement download for said single. [1] Many people didn't take notice until the set was released, when a majority of people gave the release low ratings due to this.[ citation needed ]

Eventually, on 21 November 2012, ZTT offered a mail-order physical replacement disc (with said tracks mastered in stereo) to those who had purchased the set prior, by either sending them the mono disc or emailing (or sending) a scanned copy of their receipt or other proof of purchase (to prove they have bought the compilation) to Union Square Music's email address.
