Simple Minds are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their seventh album from 1985 Once Upon A Time with a new, expanded five-CD Deluxe Edition.

Dropping Oct. 17, the five-CD box set is a cut-down version of the super deluxe edition released in 2016. The 40th anniversary edition will include the original album, as well as bonus discs featuring new and extended mixes, B-sides, single edits and rare tracks. It also includes a two-CD concert, Live in the City of Light, recorded in Paris in 1986, and a 36-page book with rare photos and interviews with Simple Minds founding members Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill. In addition to the CD set, the album is being released on ruby red vinyl, which will feature the addition of “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” for the first time.

Released in October 1985, Once Upon A Time arrived just months after the soundtrack single “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” hit No. 1 in the U.S. thanks to its inclusion in the movie The Breakfast Club. The album became the Scottish band’s only Top 10 LP in the United States after its release, with three of its singles making the Top 40: “Sanctify Yourself,” “All the Things She Said” and “Alive and Kicking,” which peaked at No. 3.

Simple Minds wrapped their North American Alive & Kicking tour, and later kicked-off a U.K. tour in Glasgow, Scotland where they play Once Upon A Time in its entirety.
