Fetta is correct on both counts: Singles was indeed issued here in the U.S., and yes, to this day, it is still missing from the on-line database - and alas, "Invisible" has appeared on only ONE other U.S. CD to date...

While going through all of the songs from 1985 in the db last week, I happened to notice that two "Best of..."/"Greatest Hits"-type collections were missing from the listings, and interestingly, both are by highly-regarded female singers from the U.K., and in another parallel, both ended up being essentially "one-hit wonders" here in the U.S.: Alison Moyet and Kate Bush...

In fact, Alison Moyet's Singles - which includes her lone U.S. top 40 hit, "Invisible" (track 7) - has actually been released TWICE here in the U.S., and remains in print today! The CD initially came out in 1995, on Columbia CK 67278. Page for this original on Discogs, complete w/ photos: ALISON MOYET - "Singles" (original U.S. CD) It's true that foreign pressings of Singles are much more common, simply because Moyet was more popular/successful in those other countries. However, I did manage to find two used copies of the original currently listed on eBay, and they're most definitely U.S. pressings, as seen in both seller's photos. First copy: ALISON MOYET - "Singles" (original U.S. CD) Second copy (while cheaper, note it clearly has a large vertical crease running down the middle of the back insert): ALISON MOYET - "Singles" (original U.S. CD) These originals on Columbia 67278 are now out-of-print...

In 2008, Singles was re-issued here in the U.S. on Sony BMG Music Entertainment Custom Marketing Group 725003, and this is the version that remains in print today. Brand new copies of this current version on Amazon (based on the pre-filled info): ALISON MOYET - "Singles" (re-issue U.S. CD) Brand new copies from one U.S. seller on eBay (again, based on the pre-filled info): ALISON MOYET - "Singles" (re-issue U.S. CD)
