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...
