The pre-order window for the two Simple Minds SDE-exclusive blu-rays – New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) and Sparkle in the Rain – is about to close.
The New Gold Dream blu-ray features a brand new Dolby Atmos Mix of the album by legendary mixer Bob Clearmountain, in addition to new 5. 1 mixes, new stereo mixes and instrumental mixes, also by Clearmountain. The full list of audio streams is below
- New Gold Dream Bob Clearmountain 2024 Dolby Atmos Mix (48/24)*

- New Gold Dream Bob Clearmountain 2024 Stereo Mix (48/24)*

It’s worth highlighting that the 2005 mix 5.1 mix is lossless on the blu-ray and features unique longer versions of many of the songs. It also exclusively includes a bonus track: ‘In Every Heaven’. Note: The original 5.1 mix features up-mixes of ‘Colours Fly and Catherine Wheel’ and ‘Promised You A Miracle’ because the multi-track tapes could not be found (they have since been located for the 2024 mixes).
