    Is there any way to tell a sealed copy of the repress, from a sealed copy of the mispress? They appear to be identical.

      Question: Are all copies bearing this orange/pink hype sticker a corrected (non-misprint) version?

          I bought this new, I think in 2017, and Universal refused to send me a replacement copy, saying that "You have to take this up with the seller" arguing that the box was sent 100 of miles and to send all the content back for the sellere to get a replacement copy and THEN send it to me would be unnecessary arduous when all was basically Universal's fault to begin with didn't work.
          Universal refused to send me any replacement disc.
          I had no choice but to return it to the seller and, in the end I had nothing but my money back.

          When I wrote back to Universal, they now sounded very surprised "Oh? They did not send you a replacement disc? we really thought that they would do that, so sad to hear that you have no box at all now"?

          In recent years, everytime that I have ed a major label about something that was their fault, I've got absolutely no and I reckon that Universal is the worst of them all.

            The 2-disc version of this favorite album is a 5-star affair. The remixes and B-sides on disc two are thorough. Where this box fails is on the live concert from Barrowlands. I have heard jaw dropping live performances from the “Tour De Monde” that ed this release, but the Barrowlands show is not one of them. Instead, it is a glimpse into the dark immediate future of Simple Minds to come. Jim Kerr’s voice (he did not know how to properly sing at this age) is shot to hell and ragged as it would be in the next 15 years of live recordings we’d hear from Simple Minds. And it was too early in the tour to have captured the radical rearrangement of “ King Is White And In The Crowd” that was built around what I can only call “the bass of god.” The concert is perfunctory where it could have been revelatory. A disappointment.
