Simple Minds Glittering Prize

Sunday Express – Live is the third (double) live album by Scottish rock band Simple Minds, released in April 2007. Simple Minds arranged to release two promotional exclusive free live CDs in April 2007 through the UK newspaper The Sunday Express, making it only the band's second official double live release in its entire career, the first one being Live in the City of Light released in May 1987.

100 Hits begins with some songs that might be termed new romantic, then shifts into non-romantic synth pop, then sophisti-pop, and then, suddenly, it looks more like a compilation more accurately classified as "'80s pop, alternative, and mainstream." Like the other sets in the 100 Hits series from the U.K.'s EMI-funded Demon label, 100 Hits: The New Romantics features 20 songs on each one of its five discs and provides a big chunk of music for a small price. This is ideal for hoarders who care more about obtaining a wide swath of songs on a budget than focused track lists with nice packaging. Most of the tracks were, indeed, hits, new romantic or not. Duran Duran's "Planet Earth," Japan's "Ghosts," the Human League's "Sound of the Crowd," and Thomas Dolby's "Hyperactive!" are among the highlights.
