Simple Minds will release a boxset version of their 1989 album Street Fighting Years.
Remastered at Abbey Road, the 4CD edition comes with edits, b-sides, remixes and a previously unreleased live concert, as well as a booklet featuring new interviews with Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill, Mick Macneil and Trevor Horn.
“I was 30 years old and I wanted to write about Belfast, Apartheid and I wanted to write about the policies of Margret Thatcher,” Jim Kerr says. “I’m glad I wanted to do that.”
