According to Amazon the release date is the 16 Mar 2015. I feel this is going to cost in the region of £50 if Amazons stupid pricing policy is anything to go by it's good also that the deluxe edition has the second disc with the extended mixes on it yet i could live without those pointless radio edits.

It looks very cool, but not for me. I have the Theme box for this, as well as the remastered CD, so that's enough. I'm not much of a fan of this album, either.

I would much rather have X5 part two.

To be honest, I would've liked to see X5 2 or even another Themes set to cover 1995-now. Or even 2CD/DVD editions of all the albums.

All the single edits are on Celebrate: The Greatest Hits anyway, so they're kind of pointless for this. Themes covers the extended mixes and B-sides. The Radio One sessions could probably be tagged on the end of Disc 1, and keep the live album on Disc 2.

there will be 2cd versions of 3 more albums after this.

Radio sessions would work, the live album (unless edited down to less tracks) not - at that time Simple Minds played mostly 7-10min versions of every song.

http://tinyurl.com/p5zrts2 I wasn't far off the mark with my guess at £50.

To be honest I don't actually own the Themes sets so I for one would benefit from having the 12" mixes and B-sides on a second disc. However I know a fair few people do own them, so its probably not of benefit to many others. Personally I'd love to see 2CD versions of Good News and Neapolis as well as the three that negative1 mentioned above. I'm a relatively new fan and I only happen to own their albums from 2009 and on, as well as the X5 set.

Good guess indeed - as there isn't that much new stuff included, will be hard to justify spending that much...
Shame that they didn't find any live stuff for the dvd - there is a ca 35min pro-shot of Live in Concert (Dortmund 1984) from German tv that could have easily been added.

My dream would be the release of such a boxset for Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call or New Gold Dream - including the 5.1 surround mixes

Wouldn't "X5.1" boxset be better, even if just for the title alone?

Speaking of X5, I wish they would have made Sons/Sisters as separate card sleeves instead of a gatefold sleeve.

Weird as well that we get both 7" and 12" extended versions of the B side of Don't You Forget About Me but neither the 7" or 12" of the A side. Would I be right in guessing that both versions of 'ABBinA' were created during the Sparkle sessions even though DYFAM wasn't and that's why they are here?

They were the b sides to Up On The Catwalk and repeated on Don't You Forget About Me which explains why the single for Up On The Catwalk was omitted from the themes box set.

It was not omitted. The two singles were combined into one, technically speaking.
