Celebrate: The Greatest Hits is a
compilation album by Scottish rock band
Simple Minds, released on 25 March 2013.[1] There were three different formats released: a single-disc version for the North American market, a two-disc version, and a three-disc version. The album spans all of their studio albums from 1979's Life in a Day to 2009's Graffiti Soul, which at the time was the latest album Simple Minds released, plus the live version "Promised You a Miracle" from 1987's Live in the City of Light, and new tracks recorded for this compilation: "Stagefright", "Blood Diamonds", and "Broken Glass Park". The 1-disc and 2-disc version come in jewel cases.[2][3]
The 3-disc version comes in a clam shell box which comes with sleeves for each disc (which represent periods in the band's history), a double-sided poster that includes the album's cover art on one side and the cover art for all of the singles included
on this compilation on the other side.[4]
Track 16 was recorded in 2012 and released as a free download. It was going to be on a new album which did not happen, so was included on this compilation instead.
Tracks 17-18 were promoted as new tracks recorded specifically for this compilation, but were later rerecorded for Big Music (2014)
