Bangles / Watching the Sky 4CD box set

Albums and remixes

The Bangles three ’80s albums for Columbia Records are brought together in Watching The Sky, a new 4CD box set which also offers bonus tracks (mostly remixes).

The albums in question are the hit-free debut All Over The Place (1984), its follow-up, Different Light from 1986 (which features ‘Manic Monday’ and ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’, amongst others) and Everything from 1988 which boasted another enormous hit in Eternal Flame.

The first two albums in this set offer a handful of bonus tracks but it’s the fourth CD that delivers in this area, with 20 single versions and remixes from the era. SDE contributor John Earls has written the sleeve notes for the booklet which is included as part of this set.

Watching The Sky will be released on 26 September 2025, via Cherry Red.
