Picture CD in heavy-duty gatefold picture card sleeve.
release date
November 2013
additional information
The artwork is based on the limited edition Street Fighting Years remaster CD (Virgin SIMCDX 9). The
front cover has been both badly cropped (the "grass fractal" doesn't fit anymore and part of the bottom section is missing)
and badly expanded (the top half-centimeter is badly cloned and smudged.) The back cover has also been badly done:
When Spirits Rise is missing and the spiral lyric has been badly cropped.
The inner gatefold sleeve reproduces the inner gatefold of the original album but, strangely, all the album information,
credits and label copy has been removed.

release date

additional information
The artwork is based on the standard Real Life remaster CD (Virgin SIMCD 10).
This is the worst of the bunch. A large amount of whitespace has been added to the right-side of the cover to fill out
the sleeve; whilst the inner gatefold is simply blue with the title text (a repeat of the pointless graphic
included in the remaster CD booklet). All album credits, label copy, lyrics and extra graphics junked.
The CD label itself is a washed-out grey colour and not the blue of the original LP label.

Picture CD in heavy-duty gatefold picture card sleeve.
release date
November 2013
additional information
The artwork is based on the standard Good News From The Next World remaster CD (Virgin SIMCD 11).
The cover suffers from the same "double-image" to the left of the sleeve as the original remaster, but has now been cropped in such
a way that the central material motif has moved downwards to the lower third of the sleeve. The inner sleeve of the gatefold is
a cropped version of the original LP's gatefold.
No album credits have been included.
