Mike and the Mechanics / The Singles 1986-2013

Although fans might have preferred a 25th Anniversary Edition of The Living Years, Genesis ‘spin-off’ Mike & The Mechanics have announced a new greatest hits set due out on 21 October.

As well as singles like All I Need Is A Miracle, Over My Shoulder, and The Living Years, The Singles 1986-2013 will include B-sides, rarities and unreleased recordings and a brand new track When My Feed Down’t Touch The Ground.

Universal appear to have given retailers the impression that this two-CD set is a CD+DVD combo, but there is no confirmation of this anywhere and it appears to be a simple error. The two versions listed online are likely to be a one-CD edition and the 2CD version with the rarities/new track/unreleased song on the second disc. The Mike and the Mechanics website, only confirms a two-CD set.

• • UK Pre-order: The Singles: 1986-2013 (2-CD Deluxe)
• • GERMANY Order: The Singles: 1986-2013 (2-CD Deluxe)
