Silver Box

Silver Box is a 5-CD box set by Scottish rock band Simple Minds, released on October 18, 2004, mostly made up of previously unreleased demos, radio & TV sessions and various live recordings from 1979 to 1995...

As a final bonus disc, it also includes Our Secrets Are the Same, Simple Minds' genuine twelfth studio album, originally recorded between April and June 1999 and originally planned to be released on its own in early 2000 but delayed many times and even cancelled until it finally was included in this box set.
