New Thompson Twins compilation due

Budget label Metro Select are issuing a new Thompson Twins compilation in April.

Hold Me Now: The Very Best of Thompson Twins is a 34-track two-CD set that includes hit singles, some 12-inch mixes and a few album tracks.

It will be interesting to see whether original UK seven-inch mixes have been used for this set, since the band are notorious for have multiple single versions and edits – a compiler’s nightmare. Many ‘hits’ sets just revert to the album versions.

Hold Me Now: The Very Best of Thompson Twins is out on 8 April 2016
