Out on the 26th April on 2cds/DVD . I'm guessing that this is exactly the same as the 2010 version except that it now includes 2 unreleased demos of Code Of Love & Heaven's A Secret.

Unfortunately I can't see any difference to the 2010 remaster version. The tracklist I found shows four so-called unreleased versions which also include Code Of Love & Heaven's A Secret. But these are the live versions At Sadler Wells 1983, which were also part of the 2010 remaster.
@omar: where have you found the information about the inclusion of the two unreleased demo versions of Code Of Love & Heaven's A Secret?

It does not say why they claim they are previously unreleased.
Perhaps they purchased the rights, or the rights were reverted after 30 years, and they want it to appear "unique"?

I get the Spandau newsletter on which it was announced about the demos. I'm guessing that the 20th anniversary remaster from 2003 which was also used on the 2010 version will be again used for the 2013 version.

Pity that they didn't include "Live & Let Live" (Lifeline 12" B-Side) this time round!

Also the 7" mix of Gold which is easily available anywhere else was missing from both the 2010 and 2013 remasters. What would be really nice is a complete singles boxset just like the Duran Duran ones , instead of another anniversary edition of True.

I think they are taking the piss reissuing this less than 3 years since the last one.

Agreed Moni. Especially as they have missed at least two tracks mentioned above on EVERY occassion. Pathetic

About "Live & Let Live" I can only imagine that Gary hates it because of his "specially treated vocals" and refused to ever release it on CD...? About the single version of Gold, I haven't compared it 100% against the longer album version and so don't know if it's differently MIXED, but maybe it's the same except missing a chorus or verse or two? /JW

Yep. Gold (7") has a shorter inst. break in the middle as well as a verse removed towards the end. It runs in at 3.50 min.

Why don't they go back and fix the disaster which was Journeys To Glory and Parade which wasn't much better instead of regurgitating the same album.

Maybe because it's too costly or in their minds both of those remasters sounded great.
