Red Box / Anthology 1980-1990 (4CD set)
Red Box had two hits in the UK from their 1986 album The Circle & The Square – ‘Lean on Me (Ah-Li-Ayo)’ and ‘For America’ and then promptly disappeared. That’s not the whole story of course, and this 4CD box fills in the gaps with the help of frontman Simon Toulson-Clarke who “undertook a deep dive into his archives” and discovered eleven previously unreleased demos from 1980-1982. You get both studio albums on CDs 1 & 2, remixes on CD 3 and those demos on CD 4.
