Released 17th July 2026 Black LP The Once Upon A Time boxset is now available in a cut down format from the original Super Deluxe set released in 2016. Originally released in October 1985, and coming hot on the heels of the global smash single “(Don’t You) Forget About Me,” Once Upon a Time was to prove the album that propelled Simple Minds to stratospheric heights of artistic and commercial success. Containing the classic hit singles “Alive and Kicking,” “All the Things She Said,” “Sanctify Yourself,” and “Ghost Dancing,” the original era-defining album now comes as part of this incredible 5-CD boxset. Bonus discs include a wealth of supplementary tracks, including the original and extended versions of “(Don’t You) Forget About Me,” single edits, 12” mixes, B-sides, unreleased tracks, and the 2-disc ‘Live in The City of Light’ concert, as well a 36-page booklet with rare photos, new interviews with Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill and a track-by-track guide.
