Having studied all the tracklists I'd agree with your CD choice, and I really don't like that cover image/design smile

I agree with the logic behind the choice of image and the distinctive original Empires And Dance cover is still strong after 33 years (crikey, thirty three years, I remember like it was yesterday!) its just the present re-appropriation seems lacking in its execution to me.

Why two CD releases? okay, apart from the all important track order the price difference at £9.99 and £12.99 is negligible, or are Simple Minds acknowledging the fact that they have two groups of fans they want to please, the early lot (that'd be me then!) and the latter lot...

Are airports still playing Brian Enooooooo and more importantly are men still marching in Eastern Europe ?
A drive- thru McDonalds in Kiev or Gdansk on the new cover would capture the Zeitgeist perfectly !

Don't know about men marching in Eastern Europe, Ivan. They were marching in Central Europe, back in the day. Marching on now, marching on now.

if anyone reading this has been in a time capsule for the past 35 years or so, you may be interested in this compilation album by a band called The Human League. It covers their career with a label called Virgin Records from circa 1978 to 1990

All The Best

Old music being "repurposed" in 2013 ..
