Soft Cell / Keychains and Snowstorms: The Singles / new single-disc hits set

In addition to the forthcoming 10-disc rarities set Keychains and Snowstorms, Soft Cell have announced a new singles compilation which shares the same moniker and cover art.

This 20-track collection presumably uses the same mastering as the box set and features all the hits you would expect, but anyone who has pre-ordered the £75 9CD+DVD package will be unimpressed with the news that Keychains and Snowstorms: The Singles features two new tracks – ‘Northern Lights’ and ‘Guilty (Cos I Say You Are)’ – NOT on the more expensive set.

The label are putting this down to “long lead manufacturing times for box sets” but there’s nothing stopping them from creating a two-track CD single with the new cuts and bundling it in with you box set, is there? I”m sure fans would value that more than the ‘Mutant Moments Poster’ that was on offer back via the band’s store back in April.

Keychains and Snowstorms: The Singles will be released on 28 September, three weeks after the 10-disc version is issued on 7 September. A 12-inch picture disc EP is also issued on the same date.
