Tracklist revealed for Simple Minds ‘x5’ box set featuring band’s first five albums

Last fall, Simple Minds announced plans to release a new box set containing the band’s first five albums and an untold number of bonus cuts — and now, with the collection and accompanying European tour due next month, we’re finally getting a look at the set’s tracklist, via our friends at The Second Disc. 

Due out Feb. 13 in the U.K., the six-disc Simple Minds x5 will collect Life In A DayReal To Real CacophonyEmpires and DanceSons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Calling and New Gold Dream (81, 82, 83, 84), with Sons and Fascination and Sister Feelings Calling packaged as separate discs.

As The Second Disc notes, the new editions feature the same remastering of the albums released in 2002, but each disc is appended with between two and six newly remastered bonus cuts, which include B-sides, remixes and live tracks. All, however, have previously been released.

  1. Good thing this is the UK remasters. I did an A/B comparison between the different versions of New Gold Dream and the difference is obvious within 5 seconds on Someone, Somewhere In Summertime. The top end is gone on the U.S. version and the vocals have been pushed up front more and they got rid of some of the reverb and echo that should be there. It’s a travesty what they did to it. UK remaster sounds superb.

  2. “Seeing Out the Angel (Instrumental)” is missing from this set! it was the “Promised You a Miracle” 12″ B’side and could be added at the end of the “Sons & Fascination” or “Sister Feelings Call” CD as it is from the same period!
