Following last autumn's 'Big Music', on March 16, Universal will release a special box set of Simple Minds' 'Sparkle In The Rain'. Enter your details below to be in with a chance of winning either a box set, LP or CD edition of the album.
Marking the first time the entire back catalogue of this era has been collected together, the box set consists of five discs. Disc one is a re-master of the original album, re-mastered at Abbey Road Studios, while disc two features rare B-sides, some making their CD debut for the first time. Disc three features a previously unreleased concert recorded in 1984 in the band’s hometown of Glasgow, with the concert continuing onto disc four, completed by a three-track BBC Radio 1 session from September 1983. Disc five consists of a 5.1 surround sound mix, remixed from the multi-track master tapes. The disc is finished off with the original promo videos, Top Of The Pops and Oxford Road Show performances of Waterfront, Speed Your Love To Me and Up On The Catwalk.
The box set is presented with a 36-page booklet with sleeve notes and new interviews with Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill, as well as rare photos of the band and memorabilia from the period.
The competition closes and the winners will be notified at 12pm on Monday March 16. Enter below for your chance to win. We'll randomly select three winners from the competition entrees, with first drawn receiving a 'Sparkle In The Rain' box set, the runner up receiving a vinyl edition of the re-mastered album and third place bagging the standard CD edition.
