Sparkle In The Rain [Deluxe Edition] (4CD)

The ‘Sparkle in The Rain’ box set is now available in a cut down format from the original Super Deluxe set released in 2014.

Long regarded as one of the jewels in the band’s catalogue, 1983’s ‘Sparkle in The Rain’ kicked off a run of three consecutive Number 1 albums in the UK for Simple Minds and delivered the classic hit singles ‘Waterfront’, ‘Up on The Catwalk’ and ‘Speed Your Love to Me’.

This 4-CD Box Set version comprises a host of bonus material including; B-sides and extended mixes; BBC sessions; a previously unreleased Glasgow Barrowlands concert; a booklet containing sleeve notes and interviews plus track-by-track annotation.
