Rare/Ultra Rare 12" Mixes Compilations

I bought a couple of these 12" bootleg compilations recently. They're quality pressings and better-than-your-average-bootleg-quality packaging, and I think it's some kind of series: I've seen Prince (x2), Yello, The Cure, Talking Heads, The Rolling Stones, Grace Jones - are there any more? What should they do next? Personally, I'd like to see New Order. Madonna might be interesting too.

And finally, there's clearly a demand - why don't record companies release these kinds of compilations officially? Of course, I'd love all the original 12-inches but there's no way I'm going to pay £15+ a time for a played-out secondhand single, if I can even find it, and the money doesn't go the artist then anyway.

Not bootlegs, but pretty much every New Order remix you could wish for.

The Cure were going to, then decided to remix one, and by the time they finished, I think only one was left.

New Order Remixes: I've got a couple of them, and very good they are too, but there's hardly any original full-length/extended 12" versions on them. Most of their 12" versions are spread over about 10 compilations (e.g. on the recent singles comp the version of Temptation is the 7" edit, but on "Retro" it's the 12" extended version).

12" 80s: They're the kind of thing, but just for one artist. There's a new 12" 80s Dance one out last week that looks ace as well.

How about The Clash?

I have seen the prince one - there's some 21 minute-long track on one disc, awesome! - and I have the talking heads one on order (if they can get it) at the record store. the prince one's packaging was quite slick.
