ReviewsUncut (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[F]ascinating, endlessly inventive and magical. Not only have they never sounded better, they've rarely seemed so in tune with the times."

Additional informationIn 2003, Virgin reissued the Simple Minds catalog from Life in a Day (1979) through Good News from the Next World (1995). Less than a decade later, the label and the band put together this compact and inexpensive box set, which includes the first five Simple Minds albums, 1979-1982, in individual sleeves that reproduce the original album art. The 2003 versions were issued in jewel cases with no bonus tracks. The versions here add newly remastered bonus tracks -- an incomplete assortment of B-sides, live versions, and extended mixes -- that amount to over 90 minutes of extra material, some of which were re-circulated in 2008 through the massive Themes box/doorstop. Prior to their cross into the mainstream, Simple Minds were one of the most vital and creative acts of the post-punk era. Even if you're well aware of that fact, it's astonishing to consider that these five albums, all radically different from one another, were released within a span of three-and-a-half years. ~ Andy Kellman
