Simple Minds confirm that a ‘Street Fighting Years’ box set is on the way

Simple Minds / Street Fighting Years box set

Simple Minds have officially confirmed that a Street Fighting Years box set is on the way “early next year.”

Writing on Simple Minds official Facebook page, Jim Kerr says he has been interviewed “for Simple Minds remastered ‘Street Fighting Years'” and even posts a photo of the box set (replicated above), which suggests they’ve already been manufactured. He confirms that it will be “released early next year”.

The 1989 album was produced by Trevor Horn and Stephen Lipson and delivered the band’s first and only UK number one single ‘Belfast Child’ (which was the lead track on the ‘Ballad of the Streets EP). Three further singles were all top 20 UK hits.

The size and shape of the box suggests it will be consistent with previous Simple Minds super deluxe editions and fans can therefore expect a four or five disc package.

This hasn’t been officially announced by the record label, and isn’t available to pre-order anywhere, but rest assured that SDE will publish more details on this as they emerge.

The band’s latest release is 40: The Best of 1979-2019 which is out now and available on 3CD, 2LP vinyl and a single CD edition.
