gift pack limited edition: information
  • Appearing in the latter half of 2007, the Gift Pack concept was a simple repackaging exercise for Christmas: sell a CD (usually a "Best Of" compilation) and DVD (usually a live performance) in the same box together.

  • Several artists were targetted: Blur, Coldplay, Massive Attack, Mike Oldfield and Simple Minds.

  • Virgin's choice for Simple Minds was simple: Gift Pack was a bundle of 2001's The Best Of along with 2004's Seen The Lights: Live In Verona.

  • The glossy card triple CD set featured the artwork of both releases (although Billy Sloan's sleeve notes were not reproduced).

  • This format was the limited edition version; the standard edition appeared in a DVD case.
