Truly amazing . I don't know what to say ... I love each song they made . I already had the CDs but I LOVE the arrangements and above all the idea of owning the MOST PRECIOUS X5 BOX ! I feel like a child on Boxing Day . I've been listening to Simple Minds from the very beginning . This is one more TREASURE in my divine collection . God Bless our PRECIOUS Simple Minds forever and ever !
We're being spoilt at the moment. Got the 5X5 tour, this wonderful 5X5 box set, the 'Greatest Hits' box set (which includes the jaw-dropping 'Broken Glass Park') and a 'return to roots' new album produced by Steve Hillage (who produced Sons & Fascination) all in 2012!
@MrDemilord Not a fan of 'Stagefright' to be honest. Doesn't really sound like the Simple Minds I remember from way back. 'Broken Glass Park' is an absolute classic though, cannot wait to hear the recorded version...
@bgisger They include the bsides of i travel the never released extended version of celebrate.. Film theme dub, new warm skin. .etc... And the original Arista/Zoom Artwork!!!!!
Yes the packaging of Real to Real how it is called, was called Reel to Real on the remastered version.. Unforgivable.. Giving notice it was also delayed because of manufacturing problems.. Now FINALLY corrected with this boxset
@MrDemilord Well, than I can't make any mistake with buying this boxset...I didn't manage yet to get some albums of them before the 90s. Of course I know the hits from various compilations, but listening to the full albums is much greater. And now, I get a nice edition for a VERY nice price imo, how nice is that?
Thats awesome.. I want to tell you Real to real is a very weird album to listen too but it has some awesome tracks though.. I love Life in a Day and Empires and Dance.. But you will like it :)
@MrDemilord btw, how is the sound quality of the remasters? I remember reading that the 5.1-SACD-Releases suffered under compression/clipping/loudness war.
I own them, and from Sparkle in the Rain and Neapolis they are compressed yes.. Once Upon a Time even sounds awful.. They used a second generation tape because the original got damaged.. It sounds flat and muffled..
The first albums from life in a day till new gold dream really sound very sweet.. They are louder but not compressed or limited
These CDs are the same as the original 2002 remasters so I expect they will sound awesome, only the bonus tracks that were never released on CD are remastered this year
LOOOOOOVE!!!!!!

@bgisger From adobe audition they are +/- 5db louder.. But the waveforms are not clipped or brickwalled... rarely the drums even hit the 0 db
